Surf for Awareness Contest Benefiting B4BC Hits San Onofre State Beach Aug. 11th
Los Angeles, Calif., July 24, 2007 Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) Board Member Una Baker and Western Surfing Association (WSA) have partnered to organize Surf for Awareness, a surf contest to promote breast cancer awareness. The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place on Saturday, August 11, 2007 from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at San Onofre State Beach, Trail 6. Proceeds from the event will benefit B4BC, the leading non-profit, youth-focused breast cancer awareness foundation that teaches young people the importance of early detection and the value of an active lifestyle.
Being a breast cancer survivor and B4BC board member, I thought this would be a fantastic way to bring awareness and support for the organization and the importance of early cancer detection and good breast health practices, said Una Baker. The contest will be a fun and educational event for everyone!
The event features 16 divisions from elementary to adult for men, women and children, and includes a very special breast cancer survivor heat.
The fun-filled day will also feature appearances by special guest professional surfers and live raffles throughout the day with items such as a surfboard, skateboard and bicycle.
Registration is $45, however, participants are encouraged to contribute and/or raise $50 or more to benefit the B4BC foundation. Competitors that raise at least $50 will receive a free raffle ticket and the top three fundraisers will receive special prizes. Registration and donations can be done directly through active.com by entering B4BC in the search box.
