Studies show that being active 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week can significantly reduce your risk of breast cancer, not to mention do wonders for your overall health.

We’ve wrapped on another amazing year of B4BC’s Shred The Love winter series, and we are thrilled to announce that we raised over $65,000 for Boarding for Breast Cancer’s education, prevention and support programs! We would like to extend our love and thanks to our 2015 resorts and community partners and to the thousands of individual fundraisers, participants and supporters who helped Shred The Love with us this winter season. The funds raised will not only tremendously impact our programs, but additional breast health non-profit beneficiaries in the communities where events were hosted. We couldn’t have achieved this without YOU!
