This past Friday evening, the Bra Couture KC held its sixth annual gala, an event that features the auctioning off of work-of-art bras created by local Kansas City artists in order to support uninsured and underinsured cancer patients who have been touched by all cancers.
Over 1,200 guests watched as models displayed 19 bras during a live fashion show. Fashion show models consisted of local Kansas City breast cancer survivors and current patients, all dressed in themed, art-based costumes.
After experiencing breast cancer herself, the founder and executive director of Bra Couture KC, Sharon Payne, wanted to aid patients within her own community in Kansas City.
