We’ve wrapped on another amazing year of B4BC’s Skate Series, and we could be more excited to announce that it was another record breaking year for fundraising! B4BC’s 8th Annual Skate The Coast event was an incredible success, and fundraised a record amount of over $30,000 for Boarding for Breast Cancer’s education, prevention and support programs.
The 18-mile skate had amazing turnout, with over 150 participants coming out to push for the cause from the Santa Monica Pier to the after party at Wahoo’s Redondo Beach.
Much love from the B4BC crew at the Dockweiler Hydration Station!
