BRAS FOR A CAUSE

     For the reaching for equity project i chose to work with Jesse, Latrell, and Chen. Jesses mother works at Safeway and told us about the Bras for a Cause foundation. It is a annual 6k walk that the team at Safeway participate in. Everyone that participates in the walk wears a bra that they design themselves, even the men. Our job was to sell as many cupcakes that we could to raise money for the foundation. I thought that this was going to be super easy just selling cupcakes but there was a catch we had to wear bras also just like the walkers.
    We showed up to Safway right after school and kind of just wandered around for a bit and waited for the cupcakes and to set up the table. My job was to greet all of the customers as they were passing by the table and let them know all of the information about the foundation. my first couple of attempts didn't go to well but as i kept on talking to people about it they started to buy the cupcakes. we got giggles and people making fun of us for wearing bras, but there were some people that wanted to thank us for being brave and being able to do this for the people with breast cancer.  Two women almost started crying because they had lost loved ones to not only breast cancer but also other cancer. I noticed that the people that donated the most were the people that had known or does know someone with the disease.
     I cannot wait until day two of our community service. In a little under two hours we made over $200.00. Latrell was complaining about wearing the bra at first but that is how we got alot of the money was because the women thought that we looked cute. I would wear a bra any day to make $200.00 for an organization.
