Rochester, MN - On Friday May 4, Join the Journey (JtJ) will be auctioning the Artful Bras created through Project BRA-Chester at Söntés Restaurant. Project BRA-Chester is a collection of “embellished bras” created for Join the Journey to increase awareness of breast cancer. The embellished bras have been displayed at several venues in the past year and are now ready to be auctioned, along with several “Unique Experiences.”
“This Gala/Fundraiser/Art Show will allow the community to see and purchase these beautiful works of art while at the same time supporting a local organization dedicated to promoting breast cancer awareness in our local community and to offering support to all individuals on their breast cancer journey,” states Elynn Welle, former Board President.
During the evening’s festivities, guests will be able to purchase the bras through both a silent and a live auction. In addition to the bras, Join the Journey will also be putting together “Unique Experiences” for live auction. For instance, one of the “Unique Experiences” slated for auction is a party where participants can make their own artful bra creations. The participants’ bras will be made into Boudoir Bags or bra purses. This experience is donated by Terri Allred, Chair of the planning committee for the event.
Francie Ginocchio, fiber artist and Project BRA-chester creator, envisioned using this feminine clothing item in a way that demonstrates resilience and unifies women in the fight against breast cancer. Her first embellished bra was constructed with antique quilt hexagons in honor of her grandmother who had breast cancer years ago.
The bras hold significant meaning to the artists involved, all of whom have a personal experience with breast cancer or those affected by it. “It’s about the strength of women and the support that we freely give to each other,” says artist Tammy Rice.
Söntés Restaurant is a locally owned establishment; its culinary staff focuses on creating unique and innovative dishes using green and sustainable methods. The restaurant combines top-notch local produce and meats with specifically sourced fine ingredients to provide its guests with a variety of dishes to please the palate.
Project Bra-Chester will be hosted at Söntés on Friday, May 4 from 7–10pm. Light hors d’oeuvres and cash bar will be provided. Tickets are available at Söntés, Wild Ginger Boutique, and Rochester International Dance Studio. They are also available online at www.jointhejourney.us. Ticket price is $30/ticket before April 18, $40/ticket after April 18. All proceeds will benefit Join the Journey and will be used locally to increase breast cancer awareness and to support individuals on their breast cancer journey.
