“Success in the City is excited and filled with anticipation for our 2nd Annual Cups Full of Hope, said Cynthia de Lorenzi, Founder/CEO of Success in the City. “Last year's bra art design submissions flooded in to our offices from across the metropolitan region and each reflected the creativity, imagination, sorrow, loss, joy, and hope for one day finding a cure for breast cancer. We were touched by the stories that accompanied each of the design submission and can only begin to imagine what beautiful and thought-provoking works of art that will be on display this year.”
