(Weslaco, TX) Knapp Medical Center will host its annual Bras Ending Breast Cancer Lunch & Style Show onTuesday, October 6 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Knapp Conference Center.

The style show is free and open to the public, and boxed lunches will be available for a $5 donation to the Bras Ending Breast Cancer campaign.

The Bras Ending Breast Cancer project is an opportunity for the community, local businesses and organizations to design/decorate bras and raise awareness about breast cancer. All proceeds from the project are used to fund screening mammograms for indigent women.

Knapp will be accepting completed designs with entry forms on Thursday, October 1 from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. at the Knapp Medical Center Information Desk.
