Sparkles, lights, and plenty of attitude filled the runway as the men strutted their stuff at the Bras for a Cause fashion show. October is breast cancer awareness month, but Knights Go Pink believe increasing awareness is a year round job. Knights Go Pink is an organization at UCF that is dedicated to raising awareness for breast cancer. The show was free admission, however donations were accepted to raise money. Tie dye T-shirts were also on sale for $8. The shirts were made by the children at the homeless shelter in downtown Orlando. Erica, a representative from the shelter, explained to me that half of the proceeds go to the homeless shelter and the other half to breast cancer awareness.  

Knights Go Pink organized the show with twenty male models who sashayed the catwalk in hand decorated bras. This was no Victoria Secret show, nevertheless the bras were amazingly creative and detailed.  There were costume bras, light up bras, and of course pink bras. Mr. Miss Adrien jump started the event with a performance to Beyonce’s Crazy in Love. The audience was full of laughter as each model took the stage. There was never a dull moment at this event.

Charlie Tong showed the audience there’s nothing more funny than a man in a bra breakdancing. James Thomson received a big reaction from the crowd when he hit the stage in a rhinestone bra with spinning tassels, however Cameron Boozar Jamehri won fan favorite with his performance. Dom Harris won first place dressed in a lion inspired outfit. Sean Lamphier earned a second place spot with his sporty cartwheel routine. Last but not least, Brian Tewes lit up the stage winning third place. Knights Go Pink prepare events throughout the school year in their efforts to raise awareness. Organizations such as Knights Go Pink give students at UCF a fun and exciting way to always be conscious about breast cancer.

Beautiful story! I commend the guys for dropping their masculine guard down long enough to show support for this worthy cause. Sounds like everyone was well entertained and informed. When is your next blog? Loved it!
