Take Off Your Bra

BURLINGAME, Calif., Oct. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Ruby Ribbon, the Silicon Valley-based shapewear and apparel company known for its top-selling cami that replaces a bra and has no underwire, announces its support of National No Bra Day on October 13^th.  Partnering with its independent sales representatives – many breast cancer survivors themselves – Ruby Ribbon will host pop-up events across the country that celebrate survivors and raise funds for City of Hope, the renowned breast cancer research and treatment center.

"Ruby Ribbon Stylists understand the widespread nature of breast cancer. In a recent survey we learned that one-in-three have either had breast cancer themselves, or experienced it with a sister, mother or daughter," said Anna Zornosa, CEO and Founder. "Because of the popularity of our bra-alternative – the cami – they are also in frequent dialogue with customers who have chosen not to wear a bra either for medical reasons or simply because they have found a great alternative to an often-painful bra."

Stemming from the United Kingdom where it began as a social media phenomenon, National No Bra Day has gained awareness in the United States where women joyfully support a braless existence.  Ruby Ribbon's connection to issues of breast health stems from both its product and the community: Ruby Ribbon Stylists take great joy in demonstrating that a woman can be supported without a bra.
