❤️ Charity

In its 13th year, The BRA Run supports Evelyn’s BFF, a charity that helps breast cancer survivors get back to their new normal while supporting counseling, reconstruction, and other items that people are often not able to get covered by their insurance. Most of our grant recipients have bills going into 6 figures! This event is the biggest fundraiser for this all volunteer organization and determines how many people they can help this year.

• About Evelyn: The founder of the Evelyn's Breast Friends Forever (BFF), a 501(c)3 non-profit public benefit charity foundation, started this event in 2013.
• Mission: Join us for Evelyn's party so we all can help other breast cancer survivors and their families.
• Community Awareness: Our event spreads awareness of breast cancer reconstruction to the community.
• Donate: Donate to Evelyn’s BFF.
