Dig out your polyester bell bottoms and platform shoes, and disco for a cure with Kansas City band Disco Dick & the Mirrorballs. Cast your vote in the "Off the Hook" bra art contest, dress for the costume contest and pose at the fun photo station! Enjoy more food than ever, including heavy hors d'oeuvres and late-night munchies, as well as a cash bar, all catered by Della Voce! Party with your friends while helping K-State fight cancer!
The Pink & Purple Polyester Party was started by Dave Lewis, a well-known voice in the Manhattan area, as a fun way to raise money for K-State cancer research and celebrate the life of his late wife, Elena, who died of breast cancer in 2006. Lewis is a morning show host for News Radio KMAN, the public address announcer for K-State Football and Men’s Basketball, and the owner of Dave Lewis Entertainment. The party is now planned by a committee of local business owners and community members (listed below).

OTHER FUN STUFF!
$100 Prize for Best Costume!
'Off the Hook' bra art contest & Bra Crawl
Businesses craft work-of-art bras as a nod to breast cancer survivors. The bra that gets the most votes in the form of donations wins. The Off the Hook Bra Crawl, sponsored by Gaia Salonspa, happens in downtown Manhattan during the week prior to the party. "Crawlers" enjoy food and drink specials as they tour participating restaurants (2017: AJ's NY Pizzeria, Della Voce, Hibachi Hut, Harry's and Blue Moose) to view and advance-vote on the bras and enjoy fun activities.
