Bra Couture® KC Fashion Show & Auction
May 2, 2025
Request for funding for both men and women with any cancer has pulled the BCKC organization to provide funds for services to these patients as well … while providing support for breast cancer will always remain our primary focus, we want to continue to move beyond the bra to provide care to any uninsured cancer patient in the greater Kansas City area. We are very proud to say, all funds raised by Bra Couture KC, stay here to care for our own.
TIME:
6:00 p.m. VIP Experience
7:00 p.m. General Admission

WHERE:
Grand Ballroom at the Kansas City Convention Center

The V.I.P. Experience
During the V.I.P. experience before the event, you’ll have exclusive access to surprise auction items and the opportunity to purchase a raffle ticket for the Hope Springs Eternal special trip all while enjoying live music from a local Kansas City musician. Guests will get to mingle with local sports team celebrities, KC Chiefs Ambassadors, and other local celebrities, in addition to enjoying food from local Kansas City chefs.
The Runway Show and Auction
The “Top 14″ couture designed bras are modeled live on the runway by cancer survivors and are auctioned live by professional auctioneer, Lenny Mullin. Every couture designed fashion, many by fashion designers from the Kansas City fashion community, comes with an amazing package that includes trips to great destinations and packages for the Royals and Chiefs.
Our 2025 Silent Auction Walk will feature silent auction items including designer purses (one holding a surprise of $500 cash!); artwork by local artists; and sports memorabilia from the Royals, and Chiefs.
If you have items that you can donate for the model packages, such as restaurant vouchers, hotel stays, condos, or anything fun, please refer to the Event Donations Page or click the button below.

Volunteer on a Committee or at The Event
Bra Couture® KC volunteers come from all walks of life; however, they all share a common passion to improve the lives of others.
Many of us are breast cancer survivors or have been personally touched by the strength and courage demonstrated by a loved one through their battle with cancer.
If you share our passion, there are many ways to get involved – to make a real difference.
To volunteer contact Stephanie Harris at 816-918-8114 or by email at skicat1010@gmail.com.
