Watch the Bras for a Cause Video!
The Bras for a Cause event was a huge success! We raised over $10,000! A BIG THANKS to all of the volunteers and models. Here is some footage from Thursday night. See if you recognize some of the models. I was lucky #7!
Bras For a Cause Runway Show & Auction
Mark your calendar for this great fundraiser! Bras for a Cause will be held on October 13th from 5PM-8PM at The Edgewater Hotel. Enjoy an entertaining runway show, live auction, music and food organized by the Women’s Council of Realtors in Madison. It benefits an amazing local charity Breast Cancer Recovery of Madison.
Beautifully decorated bras are premiered in a runway show, modeled by local business owners and celebrities (yes, I’m one of the models) for the roaring, energetic crowd. In addition, there will be music, food, entertainment, and a silent auction. 65% of the proceeds are earmarked for local Breast Cancer Recovery Retreats that directly benefit women in Dane County. This is the first year for WCR in Madison, however, other Chapters of WCR around the country raise thousands of dollars for their local Breast Cancer charities.

Exercising in the Cold
Stating the obvious, Wisconsin winters are different than Southern California winters. During my first “real” winter, I quickly learned that if I wanted to exercise outdoors, proper clothing was essential. Back in California I never owned a winter hat, a scarf, gloves, ear muffs, or wool socks. Now I own a few of each. Remember, your clothes act as insulators by trapping warm air. Just be sure to choose materials that allow sweat to pass through. Why? If your clothes can’t provide a layer of “dry” air near the skin, they will increase the amount of heat your body loses as you exercise. Nowadays it’s easy to find many moisture wicking garments from socks to shirts. And don’t forget to protect your ears (earmuffs), eyes (sunglasses or goggles), and neck (scarf). So whether you’re shoveling the driveway, snow-shoeing, or having a snowball fight, stay warm and enjoy the winter.
