Each donating business will be given credit at the auctions.
The hospital’s boutique will provide wigs, prostheses, undergarments, cosmetics and personal -care luxuries for women with cancer in the community.
The Bosom Buddies event silent auction hours are 9 a.m-3 p.m., with live auction beginning at noon, highlighting a one-of-a-kind quilt. Theme baskets will appeal to both men and women for both auctions.
