The Society of Intellectual Sisters (SIS) will host a Bra Workshop from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb 13, in Fisher 101 in preparation for their annual Bra Show fundraiser for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Workshop attendees will design bras for the Bra Show to be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, March 1, in the Forestry Atrium. All supplies for bra making will be provided.
The Bra Show is an annual event hosted by the Society of Intellectual Sisters, a Michigan Tech student organization. During the show, male students model bras designed by Michigan Tech students (some bras are designed by individual students and some by student organizations). Since the show is a fundraiser for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, donations are collected at the door. SIS hosts two bra-making workshops leading up to the event. The second and final Bra Workshop will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21, in Fisher 125. Again all supplies for bra making and decorating will be provided.
Each year there is a different theme for the show, so designers are asked to come up with something to fit the theme. This year’s theme is Seven Wonders of the World. For more info, visit http://diversitycenter.mtu.edu/BraShow13Workshop.pdf.
