POCONO TOWNSHIP, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Snowboarders are shredding for a cause this weekend in the Poconos.

They took to the slopes of Camelback Mountain Saturday to support the national non-profit Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) at an annual event at Camelback Resort.

The foundation stresses prevention through living a healthy active lifestyle, encouraging testing for early detection, and providing support to survivors.

One of those survivors became a volunteer with the organization before she was ever diagnosed with breast cancer.
