* Boarding For Breast Cancer *

So Saturday I was asked to volunteer at the B4BC booth @ Warped Tour. Warped Tour is a big concert, where hundreds of punk rock bands gather together, and play on about 5 to 6 different stages. There are booths set up for you to buy your favorite bands merchandise, but there are also booths that raise money for a cause, such as ours. We raised over $1000 in 8 hours, from donations, to selling B4BC, shirts, bracelets, stickers..etc. We were there to run the booth, and to educate others how to check themselves for breast cancer. It was very informative, especially for myself! I was able to bring my friend Amanda with me, so she was there right by my side teaching, and giving women, and of course men, all the important information one needed to know. Not only were we able to educate others, but we were able to attend some of our favorite bands' concert!!! We saw Against Me! Which is a fave of Jamie and I. Before we got to our booth, Amanda and I met a roadie of theirs playing the drums at their booth. We went up and talked to him, and he ended up giving us Warren's drumsticks! Later on that day went back to their booth, where the band was signing, and we got autographs, and pics. They were such down to earth guys, it was awesome. We also saw our other fave band Pennywise...these guys have been around forever it seems, the good ones never die! They played a rockin' show, I have always enjoyed watching Pennywise in concert, they are just so energetic! I have seen them a few times, and they just keep getting better. By the end of the day...we were ready to go home. It was in the upper nineties. And even though we had shelter for most of the day...it was still hot!! We were sweaty, and tired, but happy. I'm glad I had this opportunity, to help raise money for such an important cause. Can't wait to do it next year!!!
