PAWTUCKET – Mayor Donald R. Grebien participated in the Bras for a Cause fundraiser to benefit the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation at Twin River Casino May 19.
Special guest models, including Grebien, sported themed bras for auction. The mayor was joined by two cancer survivors, as well as Paws, the Pawtucket Red Sox mascot, for his Lion King-themed performance.
“I am honored to work with the Gloria Gemma Foundation, a local Pawtucket organization and an amazing community partner, to support the many women who are battling or recovering from their fight with breast cancer,” said Grebien. “Bras for a Cause was a great, lighthearted way to support the cause. I also want to thank those who showed their support or made donations.”
The fundraiser has so far collected $56,849. There’s still time to make a donation.
