Shredding for cancer free boobies never looked so

In the campaign’s second year, Shred the Love participation has doubled in size, with singular events raising as much as $20,000, like that of Holiday Valley in 2011. New this year is Paint for Peaks in Taos, New Mexico, selected by Yahoo as one of the top 5 creative breast cancer fundraising events of the year. Local breast health centers and cancer support organizations selected as beneficiaries by B4BC and organizers include Camp Good Days, Anita Salas Memorial Fund, Tahoe Forest Cancer Center, and the Dale & Frances Hughes Cancer Center.
Everyone is encouraged to fundraise online through the B4BC Shred the Love Fundraising page and by using the hashtag #shredthelove on Twitter. The top three online fundraisers will be announced on April 22 and will receive Shred the Love prize packs. Online funds raised will benefit the B4BC Survivorship Fund.
Shred the Love is supported by B4BC corporate partners including The North Face, Electric, Volcom, Billabong, VonZipper, Nixon, Burton and Sun Bum.
