The ARTrageous Bras fundraiser at Southeast Georgia Health System kicked
off its annual campaign and once again has a variety of eccentric and
creative bra entries, designed by Health System team members and community
individuals and businesses. The bras are on display in the Horton Gallery
on the Brunswick Campus and the Camden Campus art gallery.
The first stage of the fundraiser includes collecting votes, at $1 each,
from Oct. 1-31, to determine the top 10 bras. The fundraiser concludes
on Friday, Nov. 4,. 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
6-7:30 p.m. 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 an entertaining and unique way to increase breast
cancer awareness, as well as partner with our communities,” says
Krista Robitz, director, Development, Southeast Georgia Health System
Foundation. “The amazing bras submitted this year will once again
provide a fierce, yet friendly voting competition.”
Votes can be placed in person at the Brunswick and Camden campuses 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!”
