2019 Year End Recap
You have to plant seeds, tend to your garden and water the flowers you want to grow, and we’ve done an excellent job attending to our entire garden and watering all flowers this past year! From the amount of people educated, to the money raised at skate and snow events, to expanding our reach beyond action sports, it seems we’ve been able to flourish in every corner of our so-called garden.
With a humble in-house team of six people who spend nearly 100 days on the road each year, our mission is to spread knowledge of early detection and breast cancer prevention through educational outreach and grassroots fundraising events, as well as create a loving and healthy environment for breast cancer thrivers by way of retreats.
In 2019, we hosted 56 events, distributed over 90,000 shower cards, and educated 300,000 people, which we can proudly say is three times the usual amount. It was one of our most successful years to date, and we are so grateful for the love and support we have seen this year and every year!
This year, we hosted our first-ever Wellness ‘Day’ Retreat where we were able to treat over 50 women to a day of wellness, education, nutrition, and connection. Look for more in the coming year!

A beautiful flower is incomplete without it’s leaves, and its growth however small or big. B4BC’s flower is love, and its growth takes a worldwide community of caring people, sponsors, and partners to back not only our outreach educational platforms but our Survivorship Community of incredible thriving women as a whole.
We are so grateful for every single person who has contributed to us being seen, shared, and supported beyond our expectations.
WITH LOVE FROM B4BC, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let’s make this next year as great as the last!
