Welcome to Keep-A-Breast.org!
Our motto is “Art. Education. Awareness. Action.” We are so happy to have our new site up! There is so much to do-see-learn-share.
Check out the Art page for our very first “Cast of the Month.” We are starting off with a bang, featuring not one but two of our favorite surfers Prue and Kassia. You will also find the scoop on the amazingly talented artist, Lucy Mclauchlan – her work rocks!
Next comes the Education page where you will find our very own “boobie report,” our way of keeping you in the loop on the latest in breast cancer treatment and prevention. In addition to this information we have a section about our beneficiaries where you can link up with the organizations we have benefited over the years.
After that comes the Awareness page. Take a look at “You Said It” where the incredible people we’ve met through our events share their personal experiences with breast cancer. You will also find notable quotes from our artists and cast volunteers.
Lastly is the Action page where you go to find out about our latest news and events. We have lots in store for the coming year!
We hope you like what you see!
Thanks so much to all of you who have supported us through the years, and to our new friends out there, we can’t wait to meet you.
