Bras and Brass Foundation

More than a band - a nationwide support network striking a chord for the cure with music that moves and a mission that matters.

Our Mission

Established in Wellington in 2018, Bras and Brass was born from a love of music and a commitment to each other. What started as a single gathering has grown into a nationwide movement.

As a newly incorporated Charitable Trust (2024), the Bras and Brass Foundation is dedicated to:

Raising Awareness: Educating our members and audiences about breast cancer.
Research Support: Funding the Breast Cancer Foundation of New Zealand.
Player Support: Standing by our own musicians walking the path of diagnosis and recovery.
Fellowship: Proving that you can’t keep a good woman down.

Education Through Music

We use our platform to spread vital breast cancer awareness among our 100+ members and audiences across New Zealand.

From early detection to "Knowing Your B.R.A.S," we hit every note for health.

Funding the Cure

Every concert is a fundraiser. We proudly support the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, contributing directly to world-class research and life-saving clinical trials.

100% Voluteer Driven

We are entirely self-funded and rely on the energy of our volunteers. Our players even pay their own travel costs to rehearse and perform, ensuring your donations go further.

More than a Band

Each gathering is like a family reunion. We celebrate our "founding members" and those who have "fought the good fight" with music, laughter, and unbreakable support.
