Boarding for Breast Cancer
Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation that provides breast cancer awareness, education, prevention and support for young people and the action sports community at large. B4BC was founded in 1996 by Lisa Hudson and Kathleen Gasperini with professional snowboarders Tina Basich and Shannon Dunn-Downing.
==History==
Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) was founded in 1996 to raise awareness about breast cancer. B4BC cites the death of a 26-year-old woman who died of breast cancer as a result of complications that arose from delayed diagnosis of the disease as the inspiration for the formation of the group. To increase awareness of the risks of breast cancer in youth populations, B4BC hosted a "Snowboard + Music festival".
B4BC now performs educational outreach by advocating at colleges and universities, music festivals and action sports events. B4BC also hosts a nationwide "board-a-thons" nationwide as a platform to advocate for healthy lifestyles.
In 2009, B4BC established the Survivor Scholarship Fund which seeks to enhance survivorship by connecting breast cancer survivors to health + wellness retreats.
