We had a wonderful time, and raised lots of money for un- and under-insured patients at the Smilow Breast Center.

We’ll see you next year in October; start thinking about your bras.
Be sure to take a look at the bras we had this year as well as the non-bra items.

Other highlights from this year:

Bridgette Raes of BlogTalkRadio has interviewed a trio of people for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, among whom is our own Gaye Hyre!
Listen to the show (Gaye’s intervew starts at 36:26 in.)

The New York Times has an article about our 2012 honoree Nancy M. Cappello, Ph.D. and her work on behalf of women with dense breast tissue.
