The Delta County Cancer Alliance (DCCA) tallies up the votes from its bra decorating contest, which was organized along with the Daily Press, and prepares to announce raffle prize winners at Chenier’s Reef on Thursday during the last evening of Pink Fest, a fundraising event for the nonprofit that assists residents of Delta County with cancer-related expenses. By Friday, preliminary numbers of profits accumulated during Pink Fest was around $8,000, according to DCCA President Gayle DeShambo. The winning bra — number five, decorated to look like a face with long eyelashes — was decorated by Laurie Van Damme, a breast cancer survivor. The DCCA is considering auctioning off some of the others, DeShambo said.
