PictureBetty's Boobs for a Cure
Betty Boop - through the artistry of Karin Kneitel - garnered $1000 at an auction in support of breast cancer awareness! Karin created the bra, pictured on the left, and entitled it Betty's Boobs for a Cure.  

In case you’re just catching up with this:

In September 2014, Karin Kneitel, one of Max Fleischer’s great-granddaughters, created an incredible Betty Boop bra as part of the breast cancer awareness contest “Cups for a Cure” sponsored by her employer PSEG. She made the bra in honor of her mother, who died from breast cancer.  

Out of 200 entries, Karin’s entry was one of a handful selected and she won second place!

The Betty bra went on to be part of an auction at the Creative Cups event held in support of the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline and Support Program. It was also featured on New York’s NBC Weekend Today in New York with Pat Battle on February 22, 2015.

The auction was held on March 19 – and whadya’ know!! Karin’s divine Betty's Boob for a Cure managed to raise $1000 for breast cancer awareness!  Way to go, both of you!

Back in September we shared this fun and fanciful Betty Boop-themed bra designed and built by Max Fleischer's great-grand daughter Karin Kneitel, who went on to win second place in a "Cups for a Cure" contest sponsored by PSEG. 

We were thrilled to learn that Karin's design was later selected as one of a handful of bras that will be offered for auction as part of an upcoming Creative Cups event in support of the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline and Support Program. 
We are even more thrilled to report that this unique one-of-a-kind bra will be featured on New York's NBC's Weekend Today in New York with Pat Battle, this coming Sunday, February 22nd! 

If you are in the New York Metro Area, you can find Weekend Today in New York on NBC/Channel 4 from 6:00am-8:30am... a little bird told us to look for it around 8:00am.

Betty inspires a "Cups for a Cure" we had to share!

Check out this fun and fanciful bra designed and built by Max Fleischer's own great-grand daughter Karin Kneitel!

Karin built this ingenious, one-of-a-kind masterpiece as a "Cups for a Cure" contest sponsored by her employer PSEG. Designed to raise cancer awareness and benefit local breast cancer organizations, the contest asks entrants to create bra designs which are then voted on by pledging a dollar to the design of one's choice. 

"I love anything having to do with creative thought; totally my passion my whole life." says Karin. "I can’t wait till I retire so I can make things full time even just for the fun of it. I’m exploding inside to do this stuff." 

You can't vote for Karin's very appropriately named "Betty's-Boobs-for-a-Cure" bra - this is an in-house contest for employees-only - but if you love this idea, as we do, take a moment to enjoy Karin's incredible handiwork and then give to the breast cancer charity of your choice - or any of the great organizations supported by this contest:
  • Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline and Support Program
  • Karen Allen Donovan Foundation in Partnership with Bra-ha-ha
  • Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Long Island

Thanks to Karin for allowing us to share her design with all of you, and for using her talents in support of a great cause!

UPDATE: For those of you who are wondering... Karin's design won 2nd place out of 60 entries! Congrats, Karin!!!
