Bras Across the Bridge is BACK! Join the Feel Your Boobies® Foundation to celebrate breast cancer survivors, bring awareness to breast health and raise money to support the foundation.

In previous years, Bras Across the Bridge hosted over 200 participants, parading about 1400 bras across the Walnut Street Bridge and into Harrisburg. With the help of the participants and our sponsors, these events raised approximately $200,000 to support our education programs.

We need your help to continue our efforts. It’s more than likely you have a young woman in your life that you love, perhaps you are a survivor, a caregiver or friend of a survivor, or you have a family member who's been impacted by breast cancer. Bras Across the Bridge is a great way to come together as a team, a family, or an individual to show your support of breast health education.

The Feel Your Boobies® Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that promotes proactive breast health through the strategic education and outreach programs targeting young women. Feel Your Boobies a non-profit that focuses 100% on breast health education targeting women under 40 (the suggested age to begin mammograms).

The Feel Your Boobies® Foundation was founded in 2004 after Leigh Hurst, Founder, was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 33. Upon being diagnosed she realized she never thought much about the disease previously. She was a marathon runner and had no family history, so when the doctor’s dismissed the lump as “nothing to worry about,'' she was pacified. While going through her treatment, Leigh realized that the messages that were out there about breast cancer never really got through to her. Committing to change this, she created FYB Foundation to ensure breast health education was delivered to young women (a population not targeted by other breast cancer organizations).

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women under 35 and this population of women is not formally screened for the disease. Currently, 250,000 women in the United States are survivors of breast cancer that was diagnosed before the age of 40. Of these women, nearly 80% find their own lumps and do NOT have a family history of the disease.
