Braz for the Cause will be happening in London on October 19.

It's the annual event that brings hundreds of women to the London Convention Centre, wearing their bras outside of their shirts! The eighth annual Braz for the Cause Gala invites women from the community to the Fling 'Em for Breast Cancer Gala — a night of food, entertainment, a silent and live auction, raffles, a cash bar and dancing.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women and, according to the Canadian Cancer Society, approximately 22,000 women in Canada will be diagnosed this year.

Money raised from the event goes directly to supporting breast cancer patients. Funds are given to the Massel-Cruickshank Breast Cancer Patient Assistance Fund by way of the London Regional Cancer Program Patient Assistance Program. This fund provides patients with anything that improves their quality of life, such as child care, anti-pain and nausea medication, taxi fares, parking, wigs and palliative care. This allwomen's event is happening on October 19 at 6 p.m.
