Boathouse is proud to partner with the Keep A Breast Foundation in an effort to raise money and awareness in support of breast cancer prevention. Studies have shown that just 30 minutes of exercise 3-5 times a week can lower your risk of breast cancer by 30-50 percent (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). This is why we’ve partnered with Keep A Breast to offer our brand of American-made elite performance and athletic apparel in 5 colorful limited edition designs throughout the entire month of September. We hope this new gear will inspire you to reduce your risk of cancer by adopting a healthier, more active lifestyle.
