What do Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Adam Levine have in common?

The answer is…YSC!  No, I am not kidding!

We Can Survive Performers

Three years ago, CBS Radio created a charity benefit concert called “We Can Survive” and they chose YSC as the beneficiary of their generosity. I am thrilled to announce that they are doing it again this year! Over the past two years, CBS Radio has generously donated $150,000 in proceeds from the concert to support young women affected by breast cancer.

In 2013, YSC young survivors stood on the stage before Katy Perry performed to help raise awareness that young women can and do get breast cancer. Katy was joined by Sara Bareilles, Ellie Goulding, Tegan & Sara and Kacey Musgraves.

In 2014, YSC applauded performers Taylor Swift, Pharrel, Iggy Azalea, Airana Grande, Lady Antebellum, Paramore, Sia and Gwen Stefani for their commitment to YSC and all young breast cancer survivors

And in 2015… well, you will have to wait and see! The concert is October 24 at the historic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
