Bras Without Borders Dana Donofree, founder, AnaOno April 8, 2020

Note: Thanks to our sponsors, event is "no charge" but you must register to attend.

• Forget about work-life balance—focus on doing work you love.
• Get out there and hustle.
• Listen to others, then trust your gut. If I’d listened to people who questioned why women needed comfortable, beautiful bras after surgery, I never would have launched AnaOno.

Dana Donofree, Founder, AnaOno

Diagnosed with breast cancer at 27, Dana Donofree founded AnaOno out of her own desire for sexy, beautiful lingerie. After a bilateral mastectomy with implant reconstruction, her bras no longer fit and she was certain there must be more than just sports bras and camisoles, as nothing in the traditional lingerie market fit her surgically-altered body anymore. With a degree in fashion design from Savannah College of Art and Design, and a successful fashion industry career, she took her 10+ years’ experience and put it toward designing, launching and growing AnaOno.

Dana is very active in the breast cancer community and with several non-profits. She serves on the Living Beyond Breast Cancer board and is a METAvivor advocate. Her story has been featured on USA Today, The Today Show, HuffPost, The New York Times, Style, and many other media outlets. She won the FedEx Small Business Grant Contest, was a finalist at WBENCPitch presented by PepsiCo and served on the FedEx Small Business Center Entrepreneur Advisory Board.
