After creating Booby U last year and Camp Booby in 2012, the planners at Rethink Breast Cancer opted for a circus theme for 2014, dubbing this year's Boobyball fund-raiser “Big Top Booby.” Upon entry, guests were given a Boobyball punch card directing them to the 15 sponsor activations, including a Mott's Clamato Caesar booth and a Flare magazine photo booth.
