October 5, 2015–The annual ARTrageous Bras fundraiser at Southeast
Georgia Health System kicked off on Oct. 1, 2015. The exciting and creative
bra entries, designed by Health System team members and community individuals
and businesses, are on display in the Horton Gallery on the Brunswick
Campus and the art gallery on the Camden Campus.
The first stage of the fundraiser includes collecting votes, at $1 each,
from Oct. 1-31, to determine the top 10 bras. The fundraiser culminates
on Nov. 6 from 6-7:30 p.m. with the ARTrageous Bras reception and live
auction, consisting of the top 10 bras, and the silent auction for the
remaining bras. This lively event, which is open to the community, will
be held at the Historic Ritz Theatre, 1530 Newcastle Street, in historic
downtown Brunswick. Proceeds from the ARTrageous Bras fundraiser benefit
the Health System cancer care programs.
“ARTrageous is a really fun, unique way to increase breast cancer
awareness and partner with our communities,” says Krista Robitz,
director, Development, Southeast Georgia Health System Foundation. “We
have 63 participants this year, with 16 of those displayed on the Camden
Campus, which is our largest number to date. We’re so pleased that
the event continues to grow each year.”
Votes can be placed by calling the Foundation office, in person at the
Brunswick and Camden Campus Guest Services desks, and electronically on
the Health System website,
sghs.org/ARTrageous,
“Rankings change daily with sometimes the difference between bras
being three, five or 10 votes,” adds Robitz. “So a bra that’s
not currently in the top 10 could easily become so with the investment
of just a few dollars!”
