ABOUT OUR VIRTUAL FUNDRAISER
We have been running grassroots events since 1996 and this year, our winter event series Shred The Love (STL) is celebrating its 10th Anniversary. Unfortunately, like much of the world, we have been forced to cancel the season’s remaining three California events, including the physical season finale.
Here at B4BC, we believe that even faced with uncertainty, we all hold the power to not only sustain what brings us joyful familiarity but also to create positive impacts on our future by the choices we make today. So what do we do when our chance to connect with you, our community in person, is postponed for the foreseeable future? We shift to a virtual space and offer both big and small ways for you to continue to support B4BC’s Outreach and Survivorship programs, as they are continuing to be integral to so many lives. In true Shred The Love fashion, all while winning some awesome prizing from the comfort of your home.
Per usual, you can make a direct donation, fundraise independently, as a family or as a team. Sharing with your community to help raise your contribution will be easier than ever, all done via SMS, emails and social platforms. Awards will be shipped out to the subsequent winners in the below categories.
The meaning of a “Live Auction” has never been more literal than now. Join us daily on Instagram @B4BC to bid on the beautiful artwork donated to us by artists, incredible items from our brand partners, and hear our community speak about what keeps them creative, healthy and inspired during these unusual times. Schedule and details will be available in our profile starting April 6th.
“Stay Home” For Shred The Love - if you’ve ever participated in our events, dressed up in pink to honor a loved one, or simply share our passion for being healthy and staying active, then please share your photos with us during 4/2-4/24 using the “Stay Home” sticker and tagging @b4bc #BeHealthyGetActive for a chance to be featured in our stories. The following categories will be awarded something special in the mail:
TOGETHER (and seperated) WE THRIVE. B4BC HAS YOUR BACKS AND YOUR FRONTS!
Please listen to Wellness and Community Director, Megan Pischke's short messge and Thank You. Your tax-deductible donation will go a long way during this unprecedented and trying time, and we truly appreciate your continued support.
*We are taking protective measures in our shipping! All artwork and prizing will be managed with care, wrapped as well as possible without compromising it or your health.
We are a small organization with a big heart- and we rely on our volunteers to allow us to educate with a bigger reach. We love you, volunteers!
We educate and reach over 100,000 people a year. And our staff is on the road over 100 days a year. This $50 provides crucial education around learning self-breast exams and health tips.
We create a day of Wellness, for women managing breast cancer diagnosis or treatment, with doctors, integrative healers, nutrition, and meditation. As well as building a sense of community. Coming fall 2020!
Our goal is 3 of this 4 day Mountain or Ocean Wellness Retreats per year. These are vitally important gatherings for young women dealing with breast cancer. Connections to the outdoors, to others on similar paths, and to integrative health ideas often not paid for through insurance.
