On August 10th, 2019 the Feel Your Boobies® Foundation will host its Fifth Annual Bras Across the Bridge event on City Island, Harrisburg with Presenting Sponsor Arooga’s. The Bras Across the Bridge is a fun event hosted by the Feel Your Boobies® Foundation and is the main source of funding to support the foundation’s educational programming which includes the College Outreach Program and the Minority Outreach Program, both of which provide FREE breast health education materials to women under 40 across the country. Since the event began in 2015, approximately $200,000 has been raised.

Pre-event festivities take place on City Island from 5p-6:30p with check-in and registration closing at 6p. Then at 7p, a bra chain made of 100’s of donated bras will be stretched across the Walnut Street bridge by event participants and conclude with a Survivor March, where a group of survivors will lead the group across the bridge, followed by all bra chain participants. A Post-Party will be held at Arooga’s on 2nd Street in Harrisburg from 8p-9p, where all registered participants will enjoy buy one get one free appetizers and toast to a job well done.

About the Foundation

The Feel Your Boobies Foundation was founded in 2004 after Leigh Hurst, Founder and Middletown native, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33. She found her lump simply by “feeling her boobies”, not through a formal “breast self-exam”. The lump was unnoticed by doctors and she has no family history of the disease. What started as a few fun t-shirts she designed to remind her friends about something that save her life has evolved into a non-profit Foundation.
