These artists have donated their time to help us educate today’s youth through their music, art and inspiration.
We have developed a unique avenue for musicians and to donate their time and influence the lives of their fans and so much more. As part of The Keep A Breast Music for Awareness Campaign, we are inviting all promoters as well as bands out there to really step in and start making a difference. This campaign will allow anyone to play a role with KAB and throw his or her very own benefit show in support of the cause. This campaign will acknowledge and enable the fact that young people do want to be activists, to play a part of a bigger and better good. This was developed to provide an outlet that inspires people to better themselves and their communities.

CALL FOR CASTEES! Keep A Breast Women Of Rock & Soul Collection
Keep A Breast is looking for artists and musicians to donate their time and influence the lives of their fans and so much more by joining us for a unique experience to benefit breast cancer awareness. Keep A Breast is casting volunteers who are interested in promoting awareness of breast cancer prevention through creative action for our Women of Rock & Soul Breast Cast Collection. The Keep A Breast Foundation is a unique non-profit organization that creates plaster forms of the female torso, customized by fine artists and auctioned to raise consciousness and funding for breast cancer. This year Keep A Breast aims to raise funds to help expand our youth education and outreach programs. To achieve this we need strong, influential people who wish to be pro-active in working towards a change for the next generation.
The Keep A Breast Foundation Breast Casts™ are part of KAB’s unique campaigns to use art and artistic expression to inform young people about methods of prevention, early detection, coping and support. This awareness campaign is like no other, harnessing the power of art to communicate complex feelings and thoughts about health, the female form and ultimately about breast cancer. Combining sculpture, philanthropy, and symbolic artistry, the one-of-a-kind plaster forms of the female torso are customized by artists and auctioned to raise funds for breast cancer programs all over the world. Through these programs Keep A Breast strives to eradicate breast cancer by inspiring young people to adopt lifestyle choices that have long-term health benefits.
The Keep A Breast Women of Rock & Soul Breast Cast Collection will be exhibited from coast to coast in 2011. Breast casts will be created from the torsos of leading rock, pop, country, hip hop and soul artists then adorned by groundbreaking fine artists and auctioned to benefit breast cancer awareness through The Keep A Breast Foundation’s prevention and education programs.
Past breast casts we have include Katy Perry, Pink, Maya Ford of The Donnas, Tatiana Demaria of TAT, Meg & Dia, Sierra of Versa Emerge, included also are casts painted by Tom Delonge of Blink 182 and Angels and Airwaves, Shepard Fairey, Iggy Pop, No Doubt, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO.
