🎉 We Have a Tie! 🎉

The donations are in, and this year’s Bra Decorating Contest ended in a tie!

Thanks to the creativity of our decorators and the generosity of our community, we raised over $1,000 in support of Whiting's Paint the Town Pink. This contest is just one of the many fundraising events Arts Alive hosts throughout May to support breast cancer awareness.

💗 A huge thank‑you to everyone who decorated, donated, shared, and showed up. Your support truly makes a difference.
