About Bee Brave
Bee Brave is more than just a few events throughout the year to raise money for local breast cancer research. Throughout the last 18 years, it has grown to become a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about raising breast cancer awareness, supporting fighters and honoring those whose battle has ended. Bee Brave is a haven of hope for those who need it, a home in which to share their courageous stories, as well as a place to celebrate the victories and triumphs over breast cancer.

Since 2016, Bee Brave has raised more than $860,000 to support breakthrough breast cancer research in the lab of Dr. Matt Steensma at Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids.

Bee Brave is different because all of the money raised stays in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

• 100% of Bee Brave events are organized by volunteers and supported by local business sponsors who are dedicated to finding a cure.
• 100% of race registration goes directly to breast cancer research at Van Andel Institute.
