Los Alamitos, California---Ocean Plastic Surgery Center (www.oceanplasticsurgery.com) is conducting a “bra drive” to benefit Women Helping Women (WHW), an Orange County nonprofit organization founded in 1993 by two women who were victims of domestic abuse. Since then, WHW has assisted more than 10,000 low-income women who face significant barriers to employment through career counseling, job placement, wardrobe and image consulting and computer skills training. The “bra drive” is an idea of Dr. Bill Aiello a plastic surgeon and founder and medical director at Ocean Plastic Surgery Center. Dr. Aiello, who along with his associate Dr. Farbod Esmailian performs hundreds of breast augmentations annually, discovered that these patients no longer need their “gently used” expensive brassieres. Rather than discard these bras, Dr. Aiello’s devised a solution to donate the bras to WHW and is requesting others in the community who also have new or “gently used” bras in excellent condition to consider doing the same. “Dr. Aiello’s idea offers an excellent way for women to help other women,” said Jeanne Flint, director of WHW. “Donating gently used bras that no longer fit benefits women who have little or no money for undergarments that are the foundation for the look and feel of their clothing. Our clients are grateful for such generosity.” WHAT: Bras for a Cause WHEN: Ongoing WHERE: At either Ocean Plastic Surgery Center locations 10921 Cherry St., Suite 200 Los Alamitos, CA 90720 (562) 594-5996 CONTACT: Donna Leeds, Media Relations Ocean Plastic Surgery Center (562) 434-8565 361 Hospital Road, Suite 324 Newport Beach, CA 92663 (714) 891-7288 CONTACT: Jeanne Flint, Director Women helping Women (949) 631-2333 Some of the best-dressed women in Orange County donate their high-end clothes to help outfit WHW clients.
