Join Bra Recycling Month: Support Breast Cancer Survivors This October
Collect bras & new undies in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month to help families in need.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a nationwide campaign.
We invite lingerie retailers to collect new underwear and gently-used bras for survivors of breast cancer and domestic violence – helping restore dignity and comfort to families in need.
This initiative supports survivors of domestic violence and breast cancer, offering essential items and support through our Undie Power Program. Check out survivors' stories and what you can do to help them.
Our mission is to uplift and restore dignity to those affected by breast cancer, emphasizing compassion and empathy.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month Highlights:
Undie Power Program: Our core initiative for October focuses on providing essential undergarments to individuals in need, helping restore self-esteem and dignity. For breast cancer survivors with no insurance, obtaining those crucial medical supplies, like a mastectomy bra or a prosthesis, is out of reach for so many. We want to ensure that survivors can focus on healing their minds and bodies without worrying about the essential medical supplies they need.
Community Involvement: We encourage everyone to participate by making a monetary donation, hosting an undie drive to collect new bras and underwear, mastectomy bras and prosthesis drives, and spreading awareness.
How to Get Involved:
Monetary Donations: Contribute to our goal of raising $20,000. Every dollar supports the purchase and distribution of essential items.
Host an Undie Drive: Organize a collection drive in your community to gather new underwear and gently used bras.
Amazon Wishlist: Purchase new items directly from our curated Amazon Wishlist.
Donate Items: We welcome donations of new underwear and gently used/like-new bras, especially in high-demand sizes:
Women's sports bras (sizes L-2X)
Men's underwear (sizes L-3X)
Our goal is to collect 5,000 pairs of underwear during October.
What We Accept:
✅ New underwear for women in all sizes
✅ Sports bras, particularly in larger sizes (L-2X)
✅ Prosthesis and Mastectomy bras (gently used or like new)
