That’s what Majestic Cinemas Singleton is asking customers when they attend the Girls Night Out event on June 15 to watch the comedy Rough Night.
It’ll be an evening filled with comedy, friends and supporting a great cause with the aim to collect 200 bras on the night.
Moviegoers are asked to raid their drawers in support of the Uplift Project, which began in 2005, and aims to provide disadvantaged women across the world with a basic item many of us take for granted.
A bra in these nations offer women dignity, prevention of health issues, privacy, and the ability to carry out manual tasks with greater ease.
“Most of us have bras in our drawer that we don’t wear anymore,” Majestic Cinemas Singleton manager Rhiannon Manning said.
“They’re too big, too small, or maybe a nursing bra we’ve finished with and they’re all too good to throw away.
“This simple donation, which can often cost women in the Pacific 10-30 hours wages, also offers an incentive for education.
“Bras have been distributed to increase attendance at information sessions regarding aids, vaccinations, and domestic violence issues.”
Ms Manning said it would be Majestic Cinemas’ second “bra drive” in support of the Uplift Project.
“We have sent nearly 300 bras overseas already,” she told the Hunter Valley News.
“And, we’re hoping that Singleton will be supportive of the cause as well, no pun intended.”
Those unable to attend the Girls Night Out event are still able to help.
The cinema will be accepting donations up until June 18 in a specially-marked box in the foyer.
Tickets can be purchased via majesticcinemas.com.au or by visiting the cinema.
