Shelley Lim, cultural and leisure services director for the city of Tecumseh, is one of the seven committee members who organize the auction each year. This is the seventh and final year for the event, Lim said. “It’s a fantastic event,” she said. “Seven years ago, we made a commitment to Herrick Memorial Hospital Women’s Health Center that we would raise $50,000 and we believe this year we will be meeting that goal, so once we accomplish that, we want to explore different options for fundraising and try something new.” The auction is set for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20, at the Purple Pear Tree, 109 W. Logan Street, one block north of down- town Tecumseh. A typical auction features 70-100 decorated bras that patrons bid on in a silent auc- tion format. Tickets are $30 each and include food, wine and other beverages and live entertainment. This year’s entertainer is the Bull Halsey blues band from Chelsea. Lim encourages patrons to pur- chase tickets in advance from the Purple Pear Tree or Evans Street Station. A few tickets should be available at the door, she said. “We will have some live models wearing the wearable art pieces,” Lim said. “It’s a little edgy, but it’s really a fun evening.” Lim said the auction is the brainchild of Paula Holtz, Tecumseh’s economic develop- ment director. Beth Kennedy, Angela Wright, Aldolfo Lim, Linda Hewlett and Bret Taylor round out the committee. “We are still accepting entries,” Lim said. “I am amazed every year at the creativity of the artists submitting their work. When we put out our call for entries throughout the county and beyond, we are looking for artists’ interpretation of bra art. It could be a bra that is decorated or cre- ated. We have had photographers, jewelers, pastels, watercolors, oil paintings. “We try not to put any con- straints on the artists — folks have created their own expressions.” Lim said everything last year sold and the event raised $14,000. “Everything went home with somebody ,” she said. “We had 200 to 250 people last year — a nice crowd.” Beth Kennedy of Evans Street Station said the finale will be “bit- tersweet.” “We have been putting on this event for seven years and we want to go out with a bang,” Kennedy said. “There are several reasons and motivations for this being our final event, we are fulfilling our $50,000 pledge to the Women’s Health Center at Herrick and we are all very involved in many philan- thropic events. So, this will be a great party — our best yet. “I think the reason this event has been so successful is so many local businesses support it. Everything is donated—mar- kets and local restaurants prepare food for 200-plus people so all proceeds are donated and go directly to the cause.” Kennedy called the event “cool, one-of-a-kind and like nothing I’ve ever seen.” “It’s done in really good taste, though, and we have fun with it,” she said. Lim sees the group moving on to something equally fun and crowd-pleasing. “The committee as a whole has enjoyed being involved in rais- ing funds and I know we will come up with something in the future,” said Lim. “This is such a grass- roots event and we enjoy being so involved in the community.” Art Bra Auction at a glance WHEN: Thursday, Oct. 20, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. WHERE: Purple Pear Tree, 109 W.
