Charity

In its 14th 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.

• Funding: Most of our grant recipients have bills going into 6 figures!
• Event Purpose: This event is the biggest fundraiser for this all volunteer organization and determines how many people they can help this year.
• Founder: 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.
• Awareness: Join us for Evelyn's party to help other breast cancer survivors and their families.

Our event spreads awareness of breast cancer reconstruction by encouraging men and women to run and walk in their BRA (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) in honor of those diagnosed with breast cancer.

Donate to Evelyn's BFF.
