Breast Intentions

Have you picked up this year’s Inlander Annual Manual yet?

For more than 30 years, the Inlander has been part of the fabric of the Inland Northwest—a distinctly local reflection of our culture, food, arts, businesses, events and the people who make this region what it is.

Once a year, the Annual Manual brings it all together in one guide to the year ahead. And this year, Bra-lloween® has a prominent spot on the Annual Events page.

As we celebrate 10 years of Bra-lloween, we’re thrilled to put our biggest night of the year in front of the Annual Manual’s dedicated readers—and invite even more of our region to experience what this event is all about.

Find us on page 67, then join us October 29 at The Boxcar Room.

One night. Ten years. A whole lot of impact.

Tickets available now on our website.

Recovery takes courage. Support takes a community willing to show up.

Union Gospel Mission Women’s Recovery in Coeur d’Alene provides women with a safe, supportive place to rebuild their lives through recovery, stability, and a path forward. We’re grateful to bring our bra fitting services directly to the women they serve.

On October 14, our volunteers will help create an experience centered on dignity, comfort, and personal care—making sure each woman leaves with bras that truly fit and the individual attention she deserves.

And we need volunteers to make it happen. Breast Intentions runs on the generosity of people who give their time. From fitting and inventory to setup, check-in, and keeping the event moving, every role helps us serve more women with care.

🗓 Wednesday, October 14
⏰ Volunteers needed 5:15–8:30 PM

Give a few hours. Help us bring dignity and support directly to women rebuilding their lives.

This is what Bra-lloween looks like.

Friends getting together. An annual tradition worth coming back for. A room full of laughter. Auction wins worth bragging about. A little friendly competition. And a community that knows having a great time and making a real impact can happen in the same room.

For 10 years, Bra-lloween® has brought people together for one unforgettable night that helps make an entire year of our work possible.

Ten years of memories—and we’re ready to make this one the best yet.

There’s something powerful about the quieter moments of this work.

At our most recent fitting event with Catholic Charities, we served women at Sisters’ Haven and Mother Teresa Haven. As women came in for personal fittings, children played outside, neighbors gathered, and the sun slowly set behind the trees.

The evening was calm and full of warmth, conversation, and genuine connection. Within each fitting, we made space for women to receive individual attention without feeling rushed—welcomed with privacy, professionalism, and dignity.

Our partnerships help us meet women where they are—in every sense.

We’re drawing a future where dignity belongs to every generation.

Sometimes, three generations of women from one family walk through our doors together. A pr***en being fitted for her first training bra. Her mom being supported through pregnancy and even nursing. Her grandmother finding comfort and dignity while navigating age-related changes and mobility challenges.

Our work meets women wherever they are in that story. Because every stage of being a woman brings change, and every one of those changes deserves to be met with sensitivity, respect and individual care.

We want girls to grow up proud to be women. We don’t want shame or embarrassment around our bodies to be what gets passed down. We want them to see the generations before them cared for with dignity—and know they deserve the same.

And while last week’s fitting event unfolded around her, this little artist captured a little moment of her own.

If we get to pass something from one generation to the next, let it be dignity, confidence and care.

Today’s Seahawks game is the perfect reminder of how powerful a good support system is.

At Bra‑lloween, our Live Auction includes two Club Seats and two Field Passes for the November 8th Seahawks vs Cardinals game. This incredible experience is valued at two thousand dollars and directly supports our work providing professional bra fittings and size‑inclusive new bras to women and teens across Spokane.

If you love the Seahawks and you love making an impact, this is your moment.
