24 year old survivor throws benefit for The Keep A Breast Foundation!

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Amanda has a amazing story and we are so happy to have her want to throw a benefit for The Keep A Breast Foundation!! Amanda Lucas a 24 year old from Milford, MA shares her story:
” I’m a 3 time cancer survivor. I have a heart that is crying out to stop young adult and people in general to get themselves checked. Knowledge is the best weapon when it comes to cancer and prevention.  I met KAB a few years back and they really listened to me, and got teary eyed when i told them my story.
I want to be a person that people know for surviving and doing something about their second chance (4th in my case) and without people like me there will be a lot more under 30 cases being diagnosed at a late stage like myself. ”

Alex from Therefore I Am talks a bit about the Keep A Breast Foundation and how the band is working with us to help bring an end to breast cancer. Therefore I Am have taken us on tour with them and been so sweet and amazing people to educate and influence their fans about Keep A Breast and breast cancer prevention.

Click below to see the rest for the rundown on KAB on the road from huge KAB supporter Erin Caruso as she tour manages Therefore I Am on their U.S. tour with The Wonder Years and Man Overboard.

Well hello to all of you KABbies out there! I’m Erin and I’m out on the road right now tour managing Therefore I Am on their U.S. tour with The Wonder Years and Man Overboard. I also happen to be a dabbler in the fine art of documentary photography and have shot heaps of bands on Warped Tour and other music tours. You may remember a few of my photos from Keep A Breast’s “Shot In The Pit” traveling exhibition and auction. I’m so excited to be able to lend a hand again now by bringing you stories and photos from tour as the band makes their way across the country playing music and spreading the Keep A Breast message to the masses. If you live close enough to come out to any of the shows, please make sure you stop by the merch booth to say hello and share some stories of your own. I’m looking forward to meeting you and I know the guys are too….

Speakeasy Tiger ends 2009 with a bang for KAB!!!

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
 Kyle Simmons of Speakeasy Tiger

Speakeasy Tiger closed out 2009 with an amazing Keep A Breast Music For Awareness show in Denver, Colorado. As a fan of theirs, I was super stoked to have them approach KAB to do an event to benefit the cause and educate their community and peers. They successfully raised $720 for the organization and created one of a kind pieces of art to help raise funds. The band will also be on the Vans Warped Tour this summer, so be sure to check them out! I have included some words from Kyle, the lead singer for the band below.

I am so thankful for such inspiring young people that truly want to make a difference in the health and well being of others.

“The show was a wonderful experience. We created a really intimate setting for everyone to really take focus on why we were throwing the event. I am proud to say we reached our goal for KAB with the help of our dear friend Rachel Yarbrough, who created custom canvas pieces with the silhouette of a woman with lyrics from one of our songs “I can feel it in my chest”. We sold each one with the hope that everyone would walk away with a much deeper awareness on the truth’s of Breast Cancer. Making KAB apart of our music was especially important to me because my mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was 10. Watching Breast Cancer affect the ones you love from a personal level shows how dangerous it can be and how easily it can be prevented if you check yourself and stay in tune with your body. Our great friend Alicia Garrison went through a step by step process on how to check yourself for our audience to see. Not only were we engaged but everyone who attended was wonderfully receptive to the information being shared. I am so hopeful when I see programs like KAB available to young artists like ourselves. With influence comes great responsibility and we are so happy to have the ability to share with others through our music. I am excited for the future and excited to promote good health for all of us! Thank you so much to a great show!” Kyle Simmons of Speakeasy Tiger
