Give your bra for breast cancer at athlone it

Athlone Institute of Technology has invited local women to donate their unwanted bras to its “bra bin”, in order to raise funds for the Marie Keating Foundation.

Supported by Roche Products, the “Give your Bra for Breast Cancer” campaign gives €1 to the Marie Keating Foundation for every bra donated. Bras can be in any size, colour, style or condition. The bra bin will be in the college for the remainder of October, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The Marie Keating Foundation also held free lunchtime talks at Athlone IT today (Wednesday) on female health issues, and had its mobile information unit stationed in the college to offer free advice on key issues such as bowel, skin, testicular, prostate and ovarian cancer.
