The dust has finally settled after one awesome whirlwind.  I’m so stoked to announce our $4,500.00 donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.  Truly this is a mark of a great community achievement and one that we can all feel pretty good about!  Never have hang overs been so worth it!!

Speeches were made, prizes were won, food was eaten and beer was consumed.  Everyone seemed to have a great smile on their face and this is definiately evident in the photos (check out the photo section to see if you are up there).  The night would not have been possible without the committment and dedication of our fabulous presenting sponsors, auction sponsors, and community partners.  The generosity was outstanding and definitely proves my theory that the action sport community is one of the most supportive, if not THE most supportive, communities there is. 

The night was amazing and that is totally thanks to the wonderful vibe everyone was putting out.  It was great to see old faces and new ones out to do their part and raise awareness for breast cancer.  Generally speaking our community it pretty young, so young that the reality of the big 1 in 3 statistic has yet to hit.  The Canadian Cancer Society let the Canadian public know that one in three Canadians will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime.  Whether it is breast cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer or prostate cancer … I’m glad we have lent a hand to some very deserving people and hope that our efforts can make a difference in lives of others.

Thanks so much everyone for the great support.  I can’t wait to start planning next years event.  We have some great ideas going around!  We received some great feedback already, but we totally want to hear what you thought about the night, so please drop us a line! 

much love.  The BABC Crew
