BreastFest
Taylor-Grgdy House
Strawberry Flats
BreastFest has been
an annual local fixture
since 1999, when Sara
O'Brien launched the
event to commemorate
the life of her mother,
Tyanna Barre O'Brien,
who lost a battle with
breast cancer at the
age of 48. The reach of
the 'fest now extends
beyond the local area,
with concurrent events
held up and down the East Coast. In addition to celebrating the legacies of breast cancer
victims and survivors, the benefit also endeavors to raise awareness and prevention of
the disease that is the leading cause of death among women ages 40-55.
Athens BreastFest 2009 kicks off with a slate of kids-centered activities, including
face painting and a moon bounce from 3-5 p.m. Marissa Mustard & Katie Downs, Gabriela
Mejias, Tealtfox and Sara O'Brien take the stage during BreastFest Kids to play 30-minute
sets. The main event follows, beginning with some breast cancer education from a St.
Mary's representative and continuing with a musical line-up featuring Kimberly Morgan,
Carl Lindberg & Friends, Betsy Franck & the Bare Knuckle Band, The Granfalloons and .
’Strawberry Flats. The festivities also include a silent auction, raffle and refreshments.
Tickets are $25 at the door for adults and $60 for families. Admission to BreastFest
Kids is free for adults and a suggested $5 for children. Advance tickets ($20 for adults,
$50 for families) are available at St. Mary's, Helix, Jittery Joe's Roasting Company,
Elizabeth Ann Florist and Uniforms Unlimited. Ninety percent of the proceeds go directly
to local efforts to battle breast cancer at the St. Mary's Women's Diagnostic Center. The
remaining funds benefit the ongoing nationwide work done by the Tyanna Barre O'Brien
Breast Cancer Foundation. [Jennifer Bryant]
