The 2001 ArtBra KC event raised an unbelievable $95,176 in its first year!

I am honored that Brenda Davis, a very dear friend of mine, chose to make the Angel/Devil bra in honor of my journey. Modeled by Pam Von Campernolle in our feature photograph…

Missys’ Boutique is named in memory of Melissa Malter Newell and Ann Wilcox O’Neill, both affectionately known as “Missy”.

For breast cancer patients and survivors the triumphant journey from diagnosis to recovery is a battle requiring mental and physical endurance, emotional strength and spirit of the soul.

Pamela Van Compernolle will be among about 20 breast cancer survivors who will model the one-of-a-kind bras at ArtBra KC on May 13, 2011. ArtBra KC is a fundraiser for the Missys’ Boutique Patients in Need Fund.
