There is a $10 suggested donation at the door; donations and proceeds from the silent auction will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF).

Designed by MAMMA MIA! creator and producer Judy Craymer and cartoonist Marisa Acocella Marchetto, both recipients of BCRF's Humanitarian Award, the T-shirt will raise awareness for one of the world's major breast cancer charities and attract donations from all over the world.
