Pair of decorated bra morning teas to raise funds for Cancer Council

Creative staff decorate bras in local film theme for Pink Ribbon

If you’re visiting Council offices at Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads this month, be prepared for an unusual sight – decorated bras of all shapes and sizes strung across the foyers.

Council staff are once again supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month and have decorated bras in the theme of ‘Iconic Films and Locations of the Tweed’.

Sequins, foliage, ribbons, beads, pirate swords and flowers – these are just some of the materials used to decorate bras and pay homage to films with links to the Tweed, such as Muriel’s Wedding, Fern Gully, Mermaids, Aquaman and Pirates of the Caribbean, just to name a few.

Members of the community are invited to join the fun at fundraising community morning teas in the offices tomorrow (Wednesday 25 October) at Tweed Heads) and Thursday 26 October (Murwillumbah). Both morning teas are at 10am. There will be plenty of goodies baked by the staff for sale to raise funds for Pink Ribbon.

Council’s Director Corporate Services said although the friendly competition was great fun, there was a more serious message.

“It is also a time to remember family, friends and colleagues we have lost and those who have survived breast cancer,” Ms Collyer said.

“Once again we have some incredibly creative entries, including our first all-male entry, from some of our engineers who have made the leap from designing culverts to bras.

“The Cancer Council has made us a VIP partner, given staff’s support for this cause each year and the thousands of dollars they have raised - something we’re very proud of,” she said.

To add your donation to the cause, please come along to one of the morning teas.
