Keep A Breast - October 2006 Fundraiser

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH



SPECIAL FUNDRAISING EVENT
Keep A Breast Kings & Queens officially opens on October 7th at the Receiver Gallery in the Mission District, San Francisco. The exhibition will be open to the public through October 29th. This exhibition fuses skateboarding’s past and present, uniting the most influential men and women in the industry to raise awareness for breast cancer.

The one-of-a-kind art show features breast casts of Pink, Elissa Steamer, Rosa Gonzalez, Amy Gunther and more, decorated by leading athletes and artists such as Mark Gonzales, Robert Williams, Ed Templeton and Wes Humpston.

'Keep A Breast' and 'Roxy' have teamed up in an exclusive campaign to increase breast cancer awareness.

Roxy team riders Lisa Anderson, Megan Abubo, Kassia Meador, Candice O'Donnell and Marloes van Elswijk star in a series of one-minute Public Service Announcements that promote methods of coping, prevention and detection.

We will premier one every week at http://keep-a-breast.org/, please stay tuned.

All casts will be auctioned online at keep-a-breast.org and proceeds benefit Keep A Breast’s youth education.

“Keep A Breast is excited to bring to you this one-time event completely comprised of people dedicated to skateboarding and making a difference through their creative talent,” says Shaney Jo Darden, executive director of The Keep A Breast Foundation. All casts are customized into artistic symbols that will raise awareness of cancer and benefit Keep A Breast’s youth education and awareness programs.




The Keep A Breast Foundation is a unique non-profit organization creating plaster forms of the female torso, customized by fine artists and auctioned to raise funding for breast cancer. Our mission is to produce art events that increase breast cancer awareness among young people and benefit breast cancer education, prevention and treatment programs in communities around the world.
