About The LLBF
The Live Like Brent Foundation (LLBF) was created out of the non-profit Carve for Cancer Inc. to honor the late Brent P. Evans and to give back to those affected by blood cancer. Brent started Carve for Cancer, a winter sports and music festival raising money for blood cancer in 2012 during his battle with Lymphoma. He was an absolutely amazing individual who touched the lives of so many. Sadly, in July of 2017, Brent lost his life to complications from his blood cancer. He was an amazing son, a loyal friend, and one of the most vivacious dudes to ever exist. Today, the LLBF seeks to inspire others to live an impassioned life and live every day to the fullest… just like Brent did.
