Every October, DHR Health employees tap into their creativity to participate in the hospital’s annual “Bras for a Cause” fundraiser. This event supports underserved cancer patients throughout the Rio Grande Valley by providing vital resources such as transportation assistance, financial aid, and oncology wigs through the Renaissance Cancer Foundation.

This year, nearly 30 decorated bras were submitted by employees from various departments, showcasing their enthusiasm for raising awareness about breast cancer screenings and mammograms.

“We hold this contest every year as a fun and engaging way for our employees to help promote breast cancer awareness,” said Evelyn Saenz, Executive Director of the Renaissance Cancer Foundation. “We’re always so impressed by the many creative entries we receive.”

All donations to the Renaissance Cancer Foundation are tax-deductible and directly support local cancer patients facing financial challenges during their treatment.
