Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) Survivorship Fund to Benefit from Series of Fundraising Events
Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) is proud to benefit from partnerships with Beats for BoobsTM, Hellomellow and community fundraisers this month in support of the B4BC Survivorship Fund, a B4BC support program that connects breast cancer survivors with nature-based wellness retreats.
The first event, hosted by Beats for BoobsTM, takes place on Oct. 19 beginning at 7 p.m. at the stylish Key Club in Hollywood, Calif. One-hundred percent of the proceeds from ticket sales, merchandise and raffles will benefit the B4BC Survivorship Fund and the BUSTED Foundation. Guests must be 21 and over to attend.
?Through the support of our friends with Beats for BoobsTM, we are able to grow a much-needed program for our Survivor community,? said Blair Young, Outreach Director, B4BC. ?Research has shown that leading a healthy, active lifestyle can significantly reduce the chances of breast cancer recurring, so it is our hope that fund recipients walk away from their retreat experience feeling refreshed, inspired and ultimately empowered with life-skills that will enhance their survivorship and life-long path of healing.?
Since 2009, B4BC?s Survivorship Fund has connected 14 survivors with ReTreat Yourself, a weekend retreat hosted by The North Face Athlete and B4BC Ambassador Megan Pischke in Beaver Creek, Colo. B4BC continues their partnership with ReTreat Yourself and will be growing their Survivorship Affiliate program in 2012.
?During my breast cancer treatment I was given the opportunity to participate in ReTreat Yourself 2010. That event changed how I look at life,? said Stephanie Phillips, a 29-year old breast cancer survivor and now B4BC Advocate. ?Since then, B4BC and the ReTreat Yourself community have instilled in me the strength and encouragement to keep surviving and living life to the fullest.?
