Fit for the Cure

Local women are encouraged to participate in Wacoal America Inc.’s “Fit for the Cure” event this week.

Eight out of 10 women currently wear the wrong bra size. To promote proper fitting and provide breast cancer and early detection awareness, Wacoal specialists will provide free bra fittings at Nordstrom on Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For every woman who takes part in the free fitting, Wacoal will donate $2 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Furthermore, Wacoal will donate an additional $2 for every Wacoal, Donna Karan Intimates and DKNY Underwear bra purchased during the event.
