B4BC was founded in 1996 by Lisa Hudson, Tina Basich and Shannon Dunn Downing in honor of their late friend Monica Steward, who passed away from breast cancer at the age 26 after being dismissed by her doctors as “too young” to have breast cancer. In an effort to raise awareness of breast cancer in young women, Monica’s friends hosted a benefit concert with the Beastie Boys headlining in her honor at Sierra-At-Tahoe. Sadly, Monica passed away weeks before the event, but her spirit lives on through B4BC’s mission.
“Getting involved with B4BC was a way to simply support and honor our friend Monica, a beautiful young woman in our snowboarding industry. At that time there were limited resources for breast cancer awareness, especially for younger women. Everyone in the industry rallied behind this cause, and to see such a positive life-giving impact over the last 25 years has been truly amazing. I love that it brings our action sports community together and continues to spread awareness and support in new ways.” Shannon Dunn Downing, B4BC Co-founder + Olympic Medalist
