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 19 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.

What makes Bee Brave unique?
Bee Brave’s impact over the years would not have been possible without the support of our participants, local business sponsors and the volunteers who give countless hours to the cause. All Bee Brave events are organized by an incredible team of volunteers who are dedicated to finding a cure.
Bee Brave is proud to partner with Van Andel Institute Purple Community, VAI’s grassroots community awareness and fundraising program that connects individuals, schools, teams and businesses to the resources needed to join the fight against cancer and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. Individualized tools and customized assistance are available to create events and programs that help raise funds for biomedical research at the Institute. When you fundraise through VAI Purple Community, your efforts go further because every dollar of every donation goes directly to the cause.
Bee Brave is a powerhouse of hope in action. Discover how Bee Brave fuels breast cancer breakthroughs at VAI ➔
