CMZ B.R.A. CAMPAIGN PARTNERS AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2014

The Ciudad Medical Zamboanga B.R.A. (Bra to Raise Awareness) Campaign is still on! 

We are collecting old and used bras which will be used by Zamboanga artists led by Rameer Tawasil to create a huge B.R.A. installation art (this is 3D and sculpture-like but made out of individual bras!) here in Zamboanga City which we would like to call the:

Ciudad de Zamboanga B.R.E.A.S.T. 

(Bra to Raise Early Awareness for Screening and Treatment) Art!

We believe this will be the largest Bra Installation Art made out of individual bras in the Philippines and hopefully the world! (Please inform us if this is not so!) 

And most of all, this B.R.A. Art is created through the efforts of the Zamboanga City community and friends from all over the Philippines!

We are still in Phase 2 which is the Bra collection phase.

We still have about a week to go for the B.R.A. Collection Contest wherein the deadline is on March 8, 2014 at 10 a.m., but we will still be receiving bras up to March 16, while the artists will be putting up  the Installation Art itself. 

We would like to acknowledge our benefactors!
