This year, I'm doing something huge and amazing!

On Saturday, June 2nd, I will be modeling in Art Bra® Austin to benefit the Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC). Art Bra®  is a fully-costumed, professionally produced runway show and auction that raises funds to support local women who, like me, have been affected by breast cancer. I volunteered at last year's Art Bra auction and it was a profoundly moving experience. I was in room surrounded by proud, vibrant and beautiful women; my sisters in survival.  

During my cancer battle, I called BCRC during a dark time and to my enormous relief they got me the support I desperately needed.

Art Bra® Austin is responsible for raising 1/3 of BCRC's budget! By supporting me, you will ensure the next woman diagnosed with breast cancer will have a place to ask their questions, explore their options, and connect with fellow survivors and lifers who can relate in a way no one else can. 

Please help me ensure every woman gets the help she needs and consider a contribution towards my Art Bra® Model fundraising efforts. I HAVE UNTIL JUNE 2ND TO REACH MY GOAL!!

With Eternal Gratitude,
Katherine O'Brien

Art Bra® Austin

Art Bra® Austin is the Breast Cancer Resource Center’s signature fundraiser and is one of Austin’s most unique events – a place where art, design, fashion, transformation and empowerment meet! There’s absolutely nothing else like it. It’s a night that you’ll never forget!

Art Bra® Austin is a juried art/design competition. Every year, Austin's talented community of artists, designers, and jewelers submit their original works of wearable art to be showcased by a dynamic group of Art Bra® Austin Models - all breast cancer survivors and clients of BCRC. This feisty group of BCRC clients reflect the diversity of the thousands of women we serve annually.

Approximately 40-50 pieces are selected from over 100 submissions to be offered for auction the night of the event. Selected submissions are auctioned live during the runway show with previous winning bids as high as $14,500 for these one-of-a-kind creations.

For most, Art Bra® Austin is a transformative experience. The unique event is a tribute to women’s courage, strength, and tenacity and the result is a triumphant show featuring light, color, fabulous designs, and most important of all – a spotlight on the women who benefit from our services.

Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC)

Over the years, treatment for breast cancer has gotten more sophisticated. It’s also gotten much more complex. The Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC) is a nonprofit organization who for twenty-three years, has been helping Central Texans whose lives have been upended and forever changed by breast cancer. The BCRC provides practical guidance, education, assistance, access to needed resources and a community of support found nowhere else.

Staffed by breast cancer survivors, BCRC Patient Navigators help each client find their footing and determine the solutions that are right for them. Whatever the circumstances, BCRC provides all services and programs – free of charge – to anyone affected by breast cancer regardless of income, ethnicity, education, sexual orientation, or social support.

With every act and for every client, BCRC strives to embody understanding, preserve dignity, and always see the person NOT just the disease. We believe no one should face breast cancer alone.
