The 15th annual Bras for a Cause fundraiser set to happen Saturday, Sept. 15, is sold out.

Every year event organizers invite people to bid on stylist bras, buy raffle tickets for gift baskets and have fun raising money for a worthwhile cause.

But, while the event is sold out, there remains plenty of opportunit­y for people to donate to the cause online at https://sivalencia.org/bras-for-a-cause/.

This year, the event is hosted by the Soroptimis­t Internatio­nal of Valencia and kicks off at the Valencia Country Club on Tourney road, beginning at 5:30 p.m. and lasting until 10 p.m.

When asked why it sold out, Sewell said: “This is the 15th anniversar­y for Bras for a Cause and we have been working hard to make this the event of the year.

“The anticipati­on has been building for sure,” she said Monday.

“The community knows we have a reputation for hosting the most fun and meaningful fundraiser­s in town and this event will not disappoint.”

The ticket price was $100 per person with table sponsorshi­ps available for $5,000, $2,500 and $1,500.

The mission of the Soroptimis­t Internatio­nal of Valencia — not to be confused with the Soroptimis­t Internatio­nal of Santa Clarita Valley, which hosted the event in prior years — is to improve the “lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowermen­t,” according to the group’s website.

The group’s vision is described as ensuring “women and girls have the resources and opportunit­ies to reach their full potential and live their dreams.”
