Bra project uplifting for Relay for Life Team

PORT ANGELES – The Crestwood Convalescent Center’s Relay for Life team was looking for a way to support the cause.

The team settled on a goal of hooking thousands of bras together to stretch around the track at the Clallam County Fairgrounds on June 1 during this year’s Relay For Life.

The team is requesting a $1 donation with each bra, which can be dropped by the center, 1117 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles.

“We thought it would be an unusual thing to do,” said Carrie Bunch, team chair.

The Bras and Bucks fundraiser will benefit cancer research.

The Relay for Life is a nationwide fundraiser which donates money to the American Cancer Society.

The 24-hour event, involves a variety of teams walking around tracks to raise money.

The Relay for Life of Clallam County will begin at 6 p.m.

A special bra drop and car wash is set from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at McDonald’s, 1706 E. Front St., Port Angeles.

“If someone is too embarrassed to bring them up to us at the center, they can take them there, get their car washed and drop them off there,” Bunch said.

So far, about 200 bras have been collected, in every size, material and color.
