BRAs of the Bay
Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists
Thank You!
Thank you all for making the 10th Annual BRAs of the Bay a success!
We raised an incredible $43,000 for the Ribbon of Hope Foundation to support breast cancer patients in Northeast Wisconsin! With over 500 attendees and 50 decorated bras from our community, it was an inspiring night of solidarity.
Special thanks to our emcee Michelle Melby, our courageous speakers—Lynette Marklein, Laura Riemer, Ashley Tedeschi—, our photographer Macy Roth Artistry, and our generous sponsors.
Thank you to all of you who donated, decorated a bra, attended and supported this event!

Reconstruction is an option for most patients who have breast cancer and almost any patient who needs a mastectomy
Each year, Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists by BayCare Clinic hosts BRAs of the Bay to help close the loop on breast cancer and raise awareness of the breast reconstruction rights of breast cancer patients and those who need risk-reducing mastectomies. This year the event will be held on October 24 at the Resch Expo beginning at 5:30 pm.
Federal law mandates coverage of breast reconstruction surgery for most patients who have had mastectomies, even if reconstruction is delayed until after cancer treatment is completed.
Undergoing breast reconstruction can have profound physical and emotional benefits for women. It can help enhance their confidence and self-image after a mastectomy. While reconstruction may not be right for every patient, every patient should know their rights.
