The BCAction staff and I are busy planning our virtual fundraiser, Radical Disruption and Compassionate Resistance! We're feeling the excitement of another October and I’m inviting you to join us on Tuesday, October 12.
Radical disruption and relentless activism is hard work but coming together with our grassroots community for this annual event is always regenerative, inspiring, and exciting. BCAction thrives because of your unwavering support and we want to celebrate that! This year we'll do it in a unique way as we take collective, industry-disrupting action for our Think Before You Pink® campaign. After all, it's not a party unless we raise a ruckus?!
I’m particularly looking forward to our virtual gathering because our emcee for the event will be none other than our treasured Creative Trespasser, Tania Katan. In all my years at Breast Cancer Action, Tania has proven to be one of my favorite emcees. And she's one of my favorite humans! She’s warm, funny, and irreverent. Any event with her at the helm is a blast! Check out her bio below and then get your tickets for October 12!
So looking forward to our gathering,
Zoë Christopher
Program Officer and Operations Manager
