About Carve 4 Cancer
Carve 4 Cancer (C4C) by Live Like Brent is dedicated to the mission of shredding blood cancers. All funds raised benefit the Live Like Brent Foundation (LLBF) which puts money into the hands of blood cancer patients in their time of need through our partner hospitals. C4C was founded by east coast shredder and blood cancer warrior, Brent P. Evans. In 2010, Brent was diagnosed with stage IV non-Hodgkins lymphoma when he envisioned an epic snowboarding event to raise funds to shred cancer while being treated at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
By 2012, the first grassroots fundraiser was underway in the Pocono Mountains. Fast-forward Carve for Cancer Inc. and the Live Like Brent Foundation are now a federally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit and the organization’s main event has become the Pocono’s premier winter festival. Each year the event brings thousands to the mountain to enjoy live music, art demos, intense competition, and a whole lot more. C4C is raising hundreds of thousands of dollars while spreading awareness and helping patients in need.
The Live Like Brent Foundation
Unfortunately in 2016, Brent’s cancer came back, and he ultimately passed away due to complications with the disease in 2017 at the young age of 33 years old. After his passing, the organization created the Live Like Brent Foundation to directly impact patients in need. Today the Live Like Brent Foundation has partnered with several hospitals to funnel money directly to patients in need. From drugs to rehab, to housing, the LLBF continues to use the funds raised by the Carve 4 Cancer Winter Festival to help patients in need. The LLBF has also furthered the mission through events like golf tournaments, 5Ks, and a number of other community-based events. For more info visit, www.LiveLikeBrent.com
