TUNICA, Miss., October 1, 2017 – Caesars Mid-South male executives along with Memphis-area male celebrities, executives, and sports figures will model bras decorated by employees from Horseshoe Tunica and Tunica Roadhouse on Friday, November 3, at Horseshoe Tunica in an effort to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society.

Doors open at 6 p.m. with heavy hors d’oeuvres provided by Horseshoe Tunica. Visit the Battle of the Bras Website for more information and an online auction to benefit the American Cancer Society.

“We are thrilled to once again host Battle of the Bras, which over the past five years has allowed us to raise and donate over $400,000 to the American Cancer Society,” said R. Scott Barber, Regional President, Caesars Mid-South. “Caesars sponsors the American Cancer Society locally and nationally, and we are excited to add the annual Battle of the Bras to the many other volunteer and fundraising events we participate in around the Mid-South. This year, we’re excited to announce our celebrity models such as NBA star Mike Miller, NFL star Gary Barnidge, and many more.”

Teams of Caesars Mid-South employees will decorate the bras in a way that tells a story related to cancer. The bras will be on display for voting and donation collection at the Tunica Roadhouse Bellman Entrance from October 16 to 23, and at Horseshoe Tunica from October 24 to November 3. Bras may also be viewed and voted on with monetary donations online starting October 9 at the Battle of the Bras Website. Male casino executives and local celebrities will model the top 15 bras that receive the most cash donations. Celebrity judges will make the final decision on the top three bra designs.

The event will begin with a preshow at 6 p.m., with performance by musician and 1988 Miss Tennessee Carrie Strang, refreshments, and games sponsored by Horseshoe Tunica; a silent and live auction; and, finally, the bra modeling and voting for the main show, starting at 7:30 p.m. All money raised will benefit the American Cancer Society.

“Caesars and their employee volunteer HEROs have been an incredible resource for the American Cancer Society,” said Tracy Trotter, Senior Manager, Community Development, American Cancer Society Memphis. “We are so grateful that Battle of the Bras is returning again this year.”
