In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many events are taking place to create awareness. Bras for a Cure is an event to raise money for cancer victims. Created by Shirley Lyons, owner of Dandelions Flowers & Gifts, the annual event is an opportunity for individuals, groups and companies to combine their creativity and passion for a worthy cause.

Lyons said she created the event because four of her employees have or have had breast cancer.

100 percent of the donations will be given to Willamette Valley Cancer Institution Foundation which helps local patients. Proceeds will help cancer patients with daily responsibilities and help paying bills.

The deadline to submit a design was Oct. 19, but you can still attend the Reveal Party taking place tomorrow, Oct. 22, at Dandelions Flowers & Gifts from 5-7 p.m. Attendees can vote for their favorite bras. Each vote is $1 and people are encouraged to “stuff the cup,” or vote multiple times. Voting will be open until Oct. 31.

Dandelions Flowers & Gifts are open Monday through Saturday 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and open until 6 p.m. on the last night of voting Oct. 31.

A photo gallery of the bras can be found on the event’s website.
