Bucks for Bras

The fourth annual Bucks For Bras Charity event will be October 22 at Borrowed Bucks Roadhouse. Last year the event raised $23,650 for the American Cancer Society and Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation to benefit cancer patients. Brad Erickson, Manager for Borrowed Bucks in Bismarck, knows personally how cancer can affect a patient and their family. Erickson?s wife is a breast cancer survivor. Erickson says of the event; ?My wife is just one of so many woman who have been affected by cancer. This is a great night to come out, have some fun, and show our support for anyone whose life has been affected by cancer.? The fourth annual Bucks For Bras event will feature a glamorized bra and art auction with one of a kind pieces designed by individuals and groups from the community. These pieces can be wearable or non-wearable glamorized brassieres or related pieces of art. The pieces will be on display and participants can purchase them by live bidding. A silent auction will include items from area businesses for participants to bid on. Appetizers and drinks will be provided by Bucks and area distributors. All cancer survivors in attendance will receive a gift and Bucks will be giving away a trip at the event. Anyone who purchases a ticket will be registered for the drawing but you must be present to win. Bucks For Bras will begin at 5:30 PM on October 22. A ticket to the event will be required to get into Bucks that night. You can purchase tickets in advance for $15 or tickets at the door will be $20.
