B4BC X BALDFACE

B4BC and Baldface Lodge are excited to announce that we will be teaming up for the second year to send young women managing a breast cancer diagnosis to Baldface for Women's Week 2020. Our goal is to raise enough funds to send at least 2 or more women! The more we raise- the more women we can get in on the powder trip of a lifetime!

B4BC does year-round Mountain and Ocean Wellness Retreats for young women with breast cancer. With the focus being on mind, body and spirit, they aim to inspire, educate, and connect young women through nature-based experiences- and Baldface lodge is a perfect place to facilitate that!
 
These outdoor experiences are very important to all of us, but they are especially important to those managing breast cancer treatments and diagnosis. It gets them out of their daily routines, often fraught with phone calls, appointments, scans, doctors and uncertainty. And gets them into the mountains at a private backcountry lodge, where we all know how much medicine powder, snowcats and a group of mountain girls can bring.  
 

Baldface Lodge is by far one of the best mountain powder experiences that Canada has to offer. Founded by Jeff and Paula Pensiero, this backcountry lodge has a magical vibe that calls to just about every snowboarder we’ve met and then some! With original investors like Craig Kelly and Dave Grohl, snow cat sing alongs that range from Beyonce’ to Bohemian Rhapsody- this place spells F-U-N.

Here's what one of the 2019 grant recipiants had to say about her expeience...

"The day we flew into the lodge, reality set in at how amazing this beautiful life is. Immediately, a huge wave of gratitude took over. The fundraising of B4BC was making this dream a reality for me. For almost a week, the focus wasn’t on my diagnosis, it was to have fun, to be in the mountains with incredible women, and to ride some of the best terrain imaginable. To be amongst the mountains and contagious laughter and smiles was a constant reminder that everything was going to be okay. Each time we got to a bottom of a line, I would look up and be in awe of the beauty around me. I have made life long connections with the women from this trip. Women who have supported me and cheered me on through this phase in my life with Breast Cancer. Building up my support network bigger than I could have believed was possible. Each woman has a lasting impression on me from this trip, my heart grew bigger and my confidence grew stronger."
