B4BC at the Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro

B4BC rocked an amazing educational outreach booth July 22-24, 2016, teaching people the value of living a healthy and active lifestyle, and sharing important information about breast self exams at the Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro as thousands of people descended on Oceanside, CA, to experience the largest women’s surf competition in the world. It was a beautiful three days on the beach, with hundreds of people stopping by our colorful booth. Fortunately, we were also located right across from the skateboard ramp where young girls were ripping it in the half pipe, and legends like Carabeth Burnside and Mimi Knoop watched with awe at the new levels of female skateboarding capabilities.

Thousands of beach-goers swung by the B4BC educational outreach booth to get educated and learn about the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle. Using jelly breast molds, we taught people of all ages how to check themselves and showed them what a potentially cancerous lump might feel like. Tons of booth visitors decided to take our prevention pledge and promised to themselves to make more positive lifestyle choices and some picked up a copy of the brand new B4BC Basecamp Zine!
