Against the Tide is a family-friendly, multi-sport event to benefit the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC). The funds raised through Against the Tide help to support and expand our community education program Let’s Talk Prevention: Reducing Toxic Exposures, MBCC Webinar Series, and the newly-expanded student environmental health program, Let’s Talk Prevention: Actions You Can Take.

We are grateful to all of you who help prioritize breast cancer prevention. Above and beyond your commitment to participate in the Against the Tide event, we hope that you will create or join a team and fundraise on behalf of MBCC and our important mission to change the legacy of breast cancer for future generations. Refunds are not allowed for this event.

If you are unfamiliar with the process to create or join a team and fundraise, scroll down to the Event Information section below for helpful documents. Also available is a fundraising pledge sheet to help record and track your fundraising!
