Boarding For Breast Cancer

Programs: Campus tour: the b4bc check one, two educational outreach tour is on the road 10 months out of the year with a traveling outreach booth. The outreach experience includes peer-to-peer education on how to perform monthly breast self-exams and research-based methods on ways to reduce the risks of the initiation of breast cancer through healthy, active living. The tour includes stops at major youth lifestyle events - representing the core demographic that b4bc communicates with - as well as b4bc's signature check one, two college campus tour.

chasing sunshine survivor retreat: b4bc's chasing sunshine survivor retreats are designed to support breast cancer survivors on their road to recovery and wellness. The retreat schedules center around snowboarding/skiing, surfing, yoga, nutrition, massage rejuvenation and life-skills coaching for breast cancer survivors in need of a wellness experience, as studies correlate the benefits of complementary care and long term survivorship. Testimonials by women in this community reveal that the physical, emotional, and psychological scars left behind are often more severe than the fight itself. Unfortunately for most patients, the current model of survivor care is dictated by their health care coverage and is limited solely to medical appointments and treatments. B4bc seeks to address these needs with a program that promotes healing, community, enhances long term survivorship and allows for all it serves to thrive.
