June Director's Chair

BRA Groups

It's summer, y'all!


We've got some really fun things planned for our BRA community in June and July, and hope you'll join us on the water.


One of our Bellevue members is a certified kayaking instructor and has offered to take a group out for an afternoon of fun and friendship -- what could be more fun??! Learn more here.


Paddleboarding, you say? We had sooo much fun last summer! Apparently, the word has gotten out and we've had quite a few requests, so we're bringing this event back again. Learn more here.


No experience required for either event, and families are welcome. Check out the respective websites for more information on the host companies. Note that for kayaking, the instructor is one of our BRA members. If you think you might be interested but aren't sure, please RSVP so we can send you more details or email us at info@BRAgroups.org.


You can find more information in our blog for the events. And, if you or someone you know has a lighter work schedule in the summer (teachers, we see you), we'd welcome you in one of our BRA groups! No matter if you're new to the journey or somewhere down the road, there's a place for you in this welcoming tribe of survivor thrivers. You can sign up on our website.


As always, watch our social media for lots more information!


Wishing you all a great summer,

the BRA team

Beyond Breast Cancer: Finding Strength & Purpose

By BRA Groups • November 4, 2026
Join us for an inspirational final BRA Banter conversation of 2026 as we hear from two of our very own BRA members, Sara Holt and Lenore Calhoun. Through their unique breast cancer journeys, Sara and Lenore have each faced challenges, discovered incredible inner strength, and found joy and purpose along the way. Though their diagnoses and experiences were different, their stories share a powerful common thread: resilience, hope, and a deep desire to give back and make a difference in the lives of others. Come be inspired by their courage, their perspectives, and the meaningful ways they have turned their personal experiences into opportunities to encourage and uplift others. Two journeys. Shared strength. A lasting impact.
