Bras Across the River Needs Performers

Attention Bedford residents: Here's your opportunity to show off your talents and/or donate to a good cause while receiving credit to one of Bedford's favorite restaurants.

Whether you're a clown, a magician, a stilt walker, a puppeteer or you have some other unique talent, get out and help a good cause while showing off your creativity and skill at this year's second annual Bras Across the River event to be held in Manchester this fall.

Event organizers are looking for performers who would like to volunteer their time for this breast cancer fundraiser, scheduled for Sept. 10.

This year’s Bras Across the River event is scheduled for 1-5 p.m.  on the Bridge Street bridge in downtown Manchester. Thousands are expected to attend the event, which spans the entire length of the bridge.

Created by 95.7 WZID FM, presented by Velcro USA Inc. and supported by AutoFair, Bellwether Community Credit Union, Hannaford and St. Joseph Hospital Breast Care Center, Bras Across the River is a celebration of life and a remembrance for those who have lost their battle with cancer.

More than $20,000 was raised at last year’s inaugural event. This year’s fundraiser will benefit St. Joseph Hospital Breast Care Center and New Hampshire Breast Cancer Coalition.

Performers interested in volunteering at this year's even can sign up online by going to BrasAcrossTheRiver.com and filling out the form on the Performers page.
