About Beats for Boobs
Beats for Boobs founder, Juliana Cochnar, began volunteering for Susan G. Komen for the Cure in the early 1990’s. In 2002, she learned that her mother, Barbara, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Beats for Boobs was created as a fundraising effort with friend, Radhika Ragsdale, who shared the same passion for the cause. That effort, along with their team that was created to participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, raised a total donation of $4400.
Just two years later, Beats for Boobs threw a full-fledged fundraiser in tandem with the Komen Race, collectively raising more than $9000. Since then, the yearly event has grown organically in the San Francisco community, and the Race team fundraising and B4B donations have generated over $50,000 for the cause. This year’s event will be Beats for Boob’s largest fundraiser, aiming to raise $25,000 for national and grassroots breast cancer organizations. This year there will also be an emphasis on raising awareness of environmental causes of breast cancer, and educating women on prevention.
