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.
Are you a forgetful person? Does your schedule get so busy you ditch some of your healthy habits? We’re here for you!

The app teaches you how to perform your own breast self exam, shares our 8 Steps to Stomp Out Breast Cancer, and so much more. The best part? The B4BC app allows you to set a monthly breast self-exam reminder.
