“In past years we included the three winning bras in the silent auction but we decided to feature them in the live auction to give them the attention they so richly deserve,” said Mary Kashmar, “Bras for a Cause” chair.
Winners were selected by a three-judge panel that included local artists Nancy Howells and Qiu-ming Hay, and Carrie Arnone, membership director at the Capitola-Soquel Chamber of Commerce. A “People’s Choice” award will be selected at the event by bidders during the silent auction of the remaining bras.
The Capitola Soroptimist club uses proceeds from the silent and live auction to support local women’s causes including WomenCARE, which provides free support services to women diagnosed with cancer, and Gemma, a program of the Community Action Board of Santa Cruz County, Inc. committed to helping women reunite with their families and the community after incarceration and awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to Santa Cruz County women annually.
Soroptimist, a coined Latin phrase meaning Best for Women, is a worldwide service organization for women who work to improve the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world.
