On August 29, 2020 Boarding For Breast Cancer hosted the 16th Annual Skate The Lake event – virtually. Historically, Skate The Lake is a 28 mile skate-bike-roll along a portion of North Lake Tahoe attracting locals of all ages and abilities but due to the challenges of COVID19 and the safety of the Tahoe Community, B4BC made the decision to take the event online, opening it up to our global community. Participants were encouraged to cruise their local paths or trails in the name of breast cancer prevention and awareness and we are blown away by the amount of friends who joined in on the fun. Over 200 registered participants skate-bike-rolled, hiked, danced, sailed, rode horse or just got outside in 14 states and 4 countries in support of Skate The Lake. With this overwhelming support through participation, raffle and online auction Skate The Lake raised over $36,650 for B4BC’s education, prevention and survivorship programs.
Thank you to everyone who participated, fundraised and helped spread the word about breast cancer prevention! During these difficult times your efforts have counted now more than ever in helping B4BC pivot to the new virtual world we find ourselves in. We at B4BC are proud to announce that a portion of these funds will go towards the first-ever Chasing Sunshine Virtual Wellness Webinar Series coming this October! This series will bring the magic of our Chasing Sunshine Young Survivor Mountain + Ocean Retreats to not only the thriver / survivor community but to anyone and everyone in need.
