BC/DC - Charity for Breast Cancer
The idea for a breast cancer charity event named BC/DC "Breast Cancer - Dollars & Coins" - linked to a classic Rock-n-Roll theme - was conceived by long time friend & and 19-year breast cancer survivor - Kim Schmidt.
​
She shared the idea with Rock-n-Roll bass player Randy Brown of the band Head First. Randy is a founding member of Head First, which has been covering many great classic rock tunes of the late 70s and 80s - long before they were considered classic rock.
​
Combining Kim's BC/DC rock-n-roll music-themed idea with Randy's ability to produce live music events - the two have launched an innovative, high energy BC/DC concert series - donating 100% of net proceeds to cure breast cancer.
We all have loved ones who have somehow directly or indirectly been impacted by this undiscriminating disease. It's an idea she's had in mind for many years - and now they're finally bringing it to fruition as part of live Rock-n-Roll music events!

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to achieving prevention and a cure for breast cancer. They provide critical funding for cancer research worldwide to fuel advances in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, metastasis and survivorship.
