Awards Show and Auction
Join us for a night of creativity, celebration, and inspiration at the Bra-ha-ha Awards Show & Auction, happening on Friday, October 3, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Delta Hotels by Marriott in Chesapeake, VA (725 Woodlake Drive). This unforgettable event will spotlight the extraordinary talent and contributions of our bra makers, celebrating their artistry and dedication in support of breast cancer awareness.
The Bra-ha-ha Awards Show & Auction features artwork for a cause! Community members design inspiring works of art using a bra as their canvas. At this one-of-a-kind event, bra art is showcased while guests enjoy delicious food, live entertainment, and the opportunity to bid on exclusive auction items—including a weeklong Outer Banks getaway! Don’t forget to purchase your raffle tickets here! This exciting night closes with a runway fashion show of the winning bras modeled by courageous breast cancer survivors.
