Come Make a Hero Bra in Riverside for Our M-Line

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Who's your hero in the fight against breast cancer?

Come decorate a bra in her honor and raise money for our Mammogram Hotline.

Folks at a business in Riverside are offering to be the Hero Bra party headquarters through Oct. 9. Call Amber Rodriguez at Printing and Promotional Partner, (904) 358-2822.

The business is at 444 Park St. behind Blue Cross/Blue Shield and is providing bras -- or you can bring an old one out of your own drawer.

Rodriguez also has bowls and bowls of do-dads and glitter to use. Women (and men!) already have stopped by to make Hero Bras. A $10 donation is suggested per bra. Your Hero Bra will help us give mammograms to women who can't afford them.

If you can't make it to Riverside, just create your own Hero Bra. It's a great project for your office or group, as well.

You can make a Hero Bra anytime during October. Jeannie Blaylock would love to share your Hero Bra on TV. Email her at jblaylock@firstcoastnews.com

The M-Line number is 1-877-9-MY-MAMO. The M-Line project is done in conjunction with Komen for the Cure North Florida. The Mammogram Hotline already has had 2,000 phone calls.
