Faces of MBC video wall

Faces of MBCMBCN has partnered with Genentech to launch the Many Faces of MBC Video Wall. This is a compilation of videos collected through the Faces of MBC Video Booth, which has traveled around the US to collect the stories of those living with MBC and their family and friends. (It will be at our October 13 conference to capture more stories) 

 

One video will be posted each day from Oct. 1 - Oct.12 leading up to the full video wall launch on Oct. 13. Follow @facesofmbc and the hashtag #MBCvideo or visit www.facesofmbc.org  to see the featured video of the day and hear the stories of the many faces of MBC.  

 

For every new video upload, view, comment or share of the video wall, Genentech will donate $1 to MBC initiatives and programs (up to $20,000).  We can all help spread the word!
