OUR MISSION

THE OCTOBER 2013 PINK BALL GALA THE BRAS FOR HOPE COALITION is a non-profit organization that was founded by JJ LaCourt in 2007 to support breast cancer awareness in honor of her sister Eppi who lost her battle against cancer.Inspired by Eppi’s legacy of helping people, Ms. LaCourt’s goal is to continue giving to people in need. In particular to those women, who are breast cancer survivors, and have no insurance or are underinsured, by providing them with 100% high quality post mastectomy bras and prosthetics. Bras For Hope alleviates one more worry in the minds of cancer survivors and helps them re-claim their identity and heal by focusing on looking and feeling good.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

THE BRAS FOR HOPE COALITION philosophy is to provide high quality garments and prosthetics for the emotional healing of women, giving them that new found awareness of personal custom design. The lingerie will look no different than mainstream lingerie. Once they wear one of these beautiful, durable and washable garments, survivors will experience the “Feel Good, Look Good” mentality. This is an integral part of our total cancer treatment approach, with our initial important step for emotional support, as a cornerstone for self healing. The Bras for Hope coalition offers actual support, comfort and beauty in all ways possible.

OUR EMBASSADOR

EPPI and her doll symbol is now the Ambassador for Hope in the fight against Breast Cancer. Her symbol is the continuing care, and love that cures the mental scares along with renewed feminine pride with our gorgeous bras and cure of the physical scares of Breast Cancer.

“EPPI WILL CONTINUE TO HELP OTHERS THROUGH THE BRAS FOR HOPE COALITION, UNTIL A MEDICAL CURE FOR BREAST CANCER IS FOUND! “
