The Zonta Club of Lafayette invites you to use your creative inspiration to design and donate an Art Bra and, be a part of the First Annual Zonta Club of Lafayette Art Bra Event, “Save ze Ta Ta’z”.  We hope that you will find this uplifting event both a fun and affordable way to support breast cancer survivors. 

Help us to celebrate an important milestone for the women (and men) who have triumphed over this disease.  Just as women are never too young to be aware of the risks of breast cancer, people are never too young to start supporting breast cancer education, treatment, prevention and advocacy.  

The art bras will be on display during the Breast Health Symposium this October 14 at the Lafayette Convention Center.  Cast a $1.00 vote for your favorite(s).  The top ten with the most votes will be modeled and auctioned during the October 26, 2009 event at River Oaks.  Additional entries will be part of the Silent Auction. 

This event is expected to be a runway hit, with many amazing art bras created by local artists, including survivors, celebrities, friends and family of survivors.  These bras will be displayed at the event on October 26.  A select group of bras will be part of a silent and live auction. 

All funds raised will benefit local women with 50% dedicated to the Institute for Breast Health, Inc. a nonprofit 501 c 3 organization whose mission is to provide state of the art education concerning breast health as well as celebration of breast cancer survivorship for the community known as the Acadiana Region. The Symposium is presented to the public free of charge, courtesy of the generous support of the Lafayette medical community.  The Zonta Club of Lafayette for its local service projects will retain the remaining 50% of the proceeds. 

Join us on Monday October 26, 2009 at 6:00 pm at River Oaks (?) for an evening in the company of breast cancer survivors, some who will model the amazing art bras created by local artists, friends, family, celebrities and even themselves.  Mix, mingle, enjoy music and drinks, and bid on art bras, both silent and live auction items.
