It doesn’t get much more mundane than this. 😃 > **[National Cleavage Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cleavage_Day)** > > National Cleavage Day (abbreviated NCD) was an annual celebration held in South Africa, sponsored by the brassiere marketer Wonderbra. National Cleavage Day was started in 2002 and held at the end of every December. Wonderbra together with Cosmopolitan magazine and 5fm, an SABC radio station mainly based in Johannesburg, sponsored the celebration. > Anita Meiring, public relations consultant for Wonderbra, described the event: "It is a day for women to realise that their cleavage is something uniq... Today is the day we celebrate the Wonderbra. On a more serious note, there is a charity that benefits to. #nationalcleavageday on twitter for some hilarious tweets. > [@](#): > > Paterson said that the day is intended to be lighthearted amusement; however, she claimed that the _gross revenue will be donated to the Sunflower Fund,[5] a non-governmental and non-profit organisation based in Cape Town with a stated aim to help South African citizens diagnosed with leukaemia and other life-threatening blood diseases.[6] In the wake of the celebration in 2007, Paterson said "We will be donating money for every bra that gets sold in March. We will donate money to the Sunflower fund._ We are having big parties, we have special National Cleavage Day cocktails that have been created and for every cocktail bought R2 will be donated to the sunflower fund." ---
