Congratulations – together we raised more than $354,672 for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation at the 12th annual Alterna Do It For Dad!

Last chance to drop off your bras!

Hurry there only a few days left. Due to popular request, the campaign extended the date for you to drop off your new and gently used bras to any Browns Cleaners location in Ottawa. Visit www.ottawacancer.ca for a full list of drop off locations. The Bras For A Cause Campaign is officially coming to a close this Friday July 16.

When the campaign wraps up this Friday, Browns will then triage and wash the bras, and deliver them to a number of local organizations including women’s shelters and the Salvation Army. All funds raised benefit the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation in support of research, treatment and education for all women’s cancers.

Thousands of bras have been collected in the campaign, which began on June 7th.  In exchange for every bra donated our sponsors are donating $5 to the Cancer Foundation.  Local residents have until July 16 to donate their bra to the campaign.  Since its inception, the Bras For A Cause Campaign has generated more than 14,000 bras and over $50,000 for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.


Below are just a few highlights from the Celebrity Bra competition. Thank you everyone for voting and 'supporting' this great cause! Be sure to check out the full campaign photo album. And have a look to see which bra was the winner!
