Run entirely by dedicated volunteers, Bosom Buddies visits women in hospital, runs workshops about living with cancer, helps women network with others and educates the community about breast cancer.
To do this work they rely on fundraising initiatives and Handmade recently pitched in and supported their hat making competition called Hat Hat Hooray. Ranging from fun felt creations to classic race ware adorned with feathers, the entries were displayed and judged at our last Handmade Market on the 2nd of October (see the pic below). If you missed seeing them you can take a peek at the winners by clicking here to go to the Bosom Buddies website.
Local politicians and media personalities were also asked to show some creative flair by making a hat to auction off and the good news is you still have a chance to bid your way to owning one of these very one-off creations!
Fancy a race-day hat made by Gai Brodtmann or Annette Ellis? Or a very unique creation titled Cat in the Hat by ABC radio's Alex Sloan? All you need to do is go to the allbids website www.allbids.com.au and bid before 23 October. At the time of writing this some of the hats were going for as little as $1! What a steal!

So follow Handmade's lead and support this great local charity.
