We Did It - Because of YOU!! Because of all of your support, we have been able to raise $10,000 this year for breast cancer!! That's amazing! This weekend we will walk 40 miles through the city streets of Boston with almost 3,000 other men and women who have each done their part in raising money to help find a cure for breast cancer!!!
What's Next? We have just partnered with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats AA baseball, located in Manchester, NH. On Sunday, June 21, 2009 we will be hosting a motorcycle ride through southern NH that will end at the Fisher Cats Stadium for a 1pm game! Registration for the ride includes tickets to the game.

Thank You! To everyone for once again making our 3rd Annual Silent Auction Event a HUGE success!! This year we held an Erin-Go-Bra St. Patty's Bash and Silent Auction at the Sky Lounge in Nashua. Our new venue proved to be an amazing success! We were able to accomodate twice as many people, allowing us to offer over 56 items on our silent auction! We were able to raise just over $5,500 this year at the event!! Thanks to ALL of You!!
Who Are We? The Flamin Brazen Brassieres is a team of fire-service affiliated women who have committed to raising money to support the research and treatment of breast cancer through the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Each year we raise money and walk almost 40 miles through the City of Boston, MA and the surrounding area, and have a great time doing it! So far, through our first two years of walking, we have raised over $21,000, entirely from your support of us individually, and in support of our creative fundraisers! Thank YOU!
The Down and Dirty Numbers
Each year over 178,480 women and 2,030 men are diagnosed with breast cancer
- Over 40,460 of those women and 450 of those men will die from the disease
- In the time it take you to read these facts, another new diagnoses is made
- In the time it will take you to look over this entire website, another will die from breast cancer
Here is the Good News:
- There are over 2 million breast cancer survivors because of organizations like the Avon Foundation!
- Because of your support, we have raised over $31,000 for the Avon Foundation!!
We always have a fundraiser or two in the works, so check back here frequently to see what we are up to. If you would like to donate to a participant individually, just follow their link and it will take you to their personal Avon Walk website. Please check out our links and our supporters as well -- they work hard to support the cause!
