The American Cancer Society and Riverwalk Casino Hotel’s annual Bras for Breast Cancer charity event have added a new team member and a new element to this year’s fundraiser.

Sisters By Choice cancer support group of Vicksburg has joined the event and are accepting decorated bras, a first this year.

Bras will be collected through Oct. 31 and strung across the U.S. 80 Bridge over the Mississippi River, where a dedication ceremony will take place Nov. 4 at 10 a.m.

Organizers are hoping to match last year’s total of nearly 6,000 bras.

Riverwalk will donate $1 for each bra and $2 for each decorated bra.

The plain undergarments can be dropped off at the casino, 1046 Warrenton Road, and at Shape Up Sisters, 3215 Plaza Drive.

Decorated bras can be dropped off by calling Pearl Carter at 601-636-4709, Sandy Evans at 601-631-7982 or Eva Vines at 601-279-4564.
