B4BC Giving Tuesday 2019

Giving Tuesday is a day of global giving, while it is B4BC's mission to educate the masses on early detection + prevention - this Giving Tuesday we want to highlight our Survivorship Program. 

For the past 15 years B4BC has hosted Chasing Sunshine Young Survivor Retreats and over the last several years we have focused on expanding this program with the growing need from women in our community. The Chasing Sunshine Ocean and Mountain Retreats are 3 (expense free) days of yoga, wellness insights, healthy meals and snowboarding/ skiing or surfing. These retreats are inspired by our desire to connect young women managing a breast cancer diagnosis with each other, nature and most importantly themselves. 

While currently only able to take about 10-12 women per retreat (out of about 60 applicants), B4BC has a goal of being able to say yes to every single deserving survivor that applies.

From 2017 to 2019 we saw a 100% increase in applications for our twice yearly retreats. To accomodate the growing numbers in 2019 we expanded our Retreat program to 3 mountain retreats, one ocean retreat and the first ever Chasing Sunshine Wellness Day for up to 50 survivors. 

That is why this Giving Tuesday we need your help. 

Please consider helping us reach our goal of giving every deserving young thriver/survivor that crosses our path the gift of wellness and community.

Here's what one past retreat participant had to say...

“I felt so empowered coming away from the retreat and have carried those feelings with me back into my life at home. Hearing other women's stories, eating healthy food, and using my body were all incredibly healing.”

Thank you so much for the love and support,

Team B4BC
