ArtBra-New Haven is the expression of the community of survivors, supporters, and artists, in celebration of and thanks to the wonderful people who helped get us through the odyssey of breast cancer. Bruce Barber, host of NPR's Yale Cancer Center Answers, has graciously agreed to be our MC and Auctioneer. We will also be honoring our own Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro for her groundbreaking work on the “No Drive-Through Mastectomies” legislation, which has helped so many post-operative patients.

It's still not too late to visit ArtBra–New Haven on Zazzle for our logo T-shirts, tote bags, and more.

We'll even take a donation, if you feel so inclined.

With heartfelt thanks for your support,
Gaye Hyre and Serena Hatch
Organizers, ArtBra-New Haven
