Ready for an ARTrageous Time?

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, the Southeast Georgia Health System Foundation invites the community to participate in ARTrageous Bras, an annual fundraiser that inspires creativity, raises awareness about breast cancer, and provides uninsured patients with breast cancer screenings and care.

Registrations and sponsorship opportunities for ARTrageous are available now on the Foundation’s website at sghs.org/artrageous and wearethefoundation.org. Participants pay a $25 “fitting fee” (entry), which includes one white bra to decorate in a theme of their choice.

Themed bras will be on display October 1-31 on the Brunswick and Camden campuses. The public can also view an online gallery of the bras and vote for as many as they wish, as often as they like, for only $1 per vote at wearethefoundation.org/ARTrageous.

ARTrageous Bras concludes with silent and live auctions on Friday, November 7, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m., outside in Jekyll Square, next to Tipsy McSway’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill, 1414 Newcastle Street in Historic Downtown Brunswick. The top 10 vote-receiving bras are featured in the live auction, and the remaining bras are showcased in a silent auction. Proceeds from ARTrageous help to fund breast cancer screenings and cancer care for uninsured patients, as well as provide comfort items for chemotherapy patients.

Bras will be available for pickup Monday through Friday, August 18-September 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the following locations:

Southeast Georgia Health System Foundation

2436 Parkwood Drive, Brunswick

Nunnally House

3215 Kemble Avenue, Brunswick

Southeast Georgia Health System Camden Campus

Administration Office - 2000 Dan Proctor Drive, St. Marys

Decorated entries must be on the bra provided by the Foundation and returned by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 19.
