The Bra B-Q
The ‘BRA-B-Q’ a unique fundraising concept for local charities.
How it all started
The BRA-B-Q started life as a drunken misheard word between 5 best friends...
'Lets have a BAR-B-Q'... 'Did you say BRA-B-Q?'... 'No, but that's an amazing idea! Let’s have a BRA-B-Q and raise money for breast cancer charities!'
So that's exactly what we did.
In 2019 we held the first BRA-B-Q and raised thousands of pounds for a local breast cancer charity and hospice. Our dream was that it would be an annual event with people having their own BRA-B-Q's across the country. But then covid hit, and 2 years ago our best friend Fran, the marvellous woman who inspired the BRA-B-Q was taken from us. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2018 she passed away in October 2022. She was 53.
So on September 2nd 2023 we hosted the second BRA-B-Q! Fun, food, fantastic live entertainment as well as fabulous raffle prizes - we're not talking a dusty bottle of Lambrini someone found in the back of the cupboard, oh no - we're talking incredible beauty packages, amazing golf days and much, much more on a luxury tombola and amazing one-off auction.
In 2023 we raised over £10,000 for Birmingham Hospice (was John Taylor Hospice) and Breast Friends charity, and all through having a laugh with friends and family (this bit is really important to us - and let us put it this way, you won’t find us hiking up a mountain any time soon!)
So 'get your baps out' and join us at The BRA-B-Q for a brilliant afternoon and raise some well needed money for local charities.
Who we are
We’re just a group of best friends who have known each other for more decades than we care to admit. The Bra-B-Q and the charities we donate to are all very close to our hearts, and the day itself is fast becoming an integral part of our annual calendar.
A huge amount of work goes into the event, not only from us 5 (otherwise known as The Bra-B-Q committee), but also our other halves, our kids, and close friends. We all work full-time, and couldn’t do it without them.
