Boarding For Breast Cancer Takes 2020’s Skating The Coast Virtual & Global
The 13th annual Boarding for Breast Cancer ‘Skate The Coast’ event is going global! Due to restrictions and concerns for the health and safety of participants as a result of COVID, getting together to skate this year is a no-go. So, in order to keep fundraising and raising awareness for breast cancer, B4BC’s Skate the Coast is inviting people to take part virtually on October 25.
