With $2 per bra being donated from Merrett Home Hardware Building Centre and other monetary donations from local businesses and individuals, the campaign raised $12,603, supporting the Canadian Cancer Society, breast cancer research and awareness and the services patients use every day.
For the last four weeks, residents of Peterborough and The Kawarthas have been donating their gently used bras for this campaign. A total of 3,472 bras were collected.
The bras will hang on the Pure Country 105/Move 99.7 building until Monday as a symbol of support for those battling breast cancer, to honour survivors and to remember those who have lost their battle. The public is encouraged to stop by and check out the display at 59 George St. N.
