Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Events

By Andrea: http://nursingoncologyjob.com

Today from 9:30am-6pm the staff and teachers at Quiltique will be auctioning off their “blinged” bras to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

The idea started with a post on the BERNINA Blog. They invited their blog’s readers to “Bling their Bra” in October, to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Quiltique, a local Henderson quilt shop took the idea one step further. They asked their staff and teachers to create over-the-top lingerie creations to auction, with the auction proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The staff and teachers went wild, creating one-of-a-kind originals, some of which would turn the head of even the most seasoned Las Vegas Stripper.

Though the staff has taken a whimsical approach, the goal is clear – to raise money to fight breast cancer, a disease that has affected far too many mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, cousins… and dear friends.

For customers interested in a treat for the stomach as well as the eyes, the staff has baked up culinary sensations to sell at their bake sale, also on October 16th, which will also benefit Susan G. Komen.
Quiltique is a boutique quilt shop in Henderson, Nevada that has been family owned and operated since 2003. It is located at 213 N. Stephanie, on the corner of Stephanie and American Pacific.
