BHHS Nevada supports Bras for Cause event

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties raised more than $10,000 at its inaugural Bras for Cause event, surpassing its fundraising goal by double. The brokerage’s social committee organized the recent event, focusing on raising funds and awareness for breast cancer and its survivors.

Clients, Realtors, friends, family and the public were invited to participate in the breast cancer awareness initiative, which was partnered with Equity Title. Contributions from attendees enabled the event to surpass its initial $5,000 goal, reaching $10,366 in donations. The funds raised were directed toward “Send Me On Vacation,” a local charity dedicated to providing weeklong group vacations to women affected by breast cancer.

“As a mother to a cancer survivor, this cause hits close to home for me,” said Shannon Gaccione, Realtor and social committee member at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties. “I want the public to understand the challenges that survivors face after remission. Many face ongoing medical issues, PTSD and the constant fear of it coming back. Through Bras for Cause, we hope to shed light on survivors’ ongoing struggles and triumphs, inspiring empathy and support within our community.”

“The highlight of the evening was the surprise appearance of Leta Daly, one of our office’s breast cancer survivors, who rocked the runway as a model during the bra auction. It was a heartwarming moment and a testament to the strength of survivors,” Gaccione said. “And on top of the incredible moment, we surpassed our fundraising goal by over $5,000! We are eager to plan more events, continuing our support for this cause in the future.”

The Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties Social Committee, led by Gaccione, Marian Curcuru, Meli Pulido, Jennifer Breeden, Rebecca Ewing, Rhonda Hubkey and Carlos Cipa, played a crucial role in ensuring the evening’s success.
