Breasts of Colorado returns September 19th

Gala reception and art exhibit to benefit patients fighting breast cancer

DENVER (August 14) – The 2nd Annual Breasts of Colorado returns September 19th, with a festive reception and art exhibit in Englewood to unveil this year’s breast casts. Inspired by similar philanthropic fundraising events in California and Oklahoma, last year’s inaugural event in Colorado raised $10,000 to help breast cancer patients in treatment. 

This summer, a group of volunteer models, including survivors, patients and others who want to honor someone special in their life had molds of their chests made, which were then decorated by local artists. Models are raising sponsorship funds for their casting through donations from family and friends, or by making a personal donation. Proceeds from these one-of-a-kind pieces of art will benefit Sense of Security, whose sustained financial assistance ensures that breast cancer patients can stay secure in their homes and have enough good food to nourish themselves and their families.

The event includes cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, Live Band, Flash Mob, and an exhibit of the completed breast casts. The attendees will have the opportunity to help raise additional funds through activities, such as a silent auction. There will also be a check presentation ceremony as well as prizes awarded to the Artists and Models.

Breasts of Colorado will take place on September 19th from 5:00- 9:00 pm Cuttn’ It Loose Salon/Art Gallery. This is a free event

Breasts of Colorado is sponsored by The Englewood Chamber of Commerce. Learn more about the event and purchase tickets at www.breastsofcolorado.org .
