Support Breast Cancer Research during October 2009 Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Starting this Thursday, September 24th and continuing every day in October, 2009, a network of eBay, Bonanzle and Internet sellers have organized a BLING MY BRA campaign to raise money for breast cancer research during October 2009, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We will be running an eBay auction per day of Fantasy Bras: creative confections with themes that are beautiful, funny, and inventive, created by artists and craftspeople celebrating the military, their favorite hobbies (such as bowling and offroading), Moms, eBay, comic books, baseball, and Halloween, among other themes. (Pictures available upon request.)
