Once again the APPA Status of Women committee has asked members to donate your used bras for the Osez le donner (Dare to Give) Campaign, and you certainly did! We collected a total of 480 bras from our CSDM and EMSB teams in our schools and head offices. That means La Vie en Rose will donate $480 to the McPeak Sirois Group to help fund their Accès-recherche Program.
Bras in useable condition do not go to waste! They are repaired, sorted, laundered and given a second life for women in Quebec and elsewhere who are in need of some comfortable support.
Below is a snapshot of this year’s participants. Congratulations to our winning teams! Each received a $50.00 gift certificate to La Vie en Rose!

| Team Up-Lifters (EMSB ETS Department) | 111 bras | (Winner: Be Bra-ve Photo Competition) |
