BIGHORN BAM
BEHIND A MIRACLE
Our Mission: BIGHORN Behind A Miracle is dedicated to providing critical funding needed to help in the diagnosis, treatment, transportation, research services and education for those affected by all cancer, serving Women, Men and Children.
BAM was founded in 2007 after one of our BIGHORN Members, Selby Dunham, experienced the challenges of fighting cancer firsthand. Following breast cancer surgery and months of chemotherapy and radiation, Selby — with support from RD Hubbard and the entire BIGHORN team — started a golf tournament to raise money to support others going through cancer treatment. The following year, Selby realized they had something special with the support of BIGHORN members and that’s when BIGHORN BAM came to fruition. With the goal of providing compassion, love, and support for those who are fighting cancer in the Coachella Valley, their assistance has helped over 100,000 people.
We are proud to have built on what Selby Dunham started, creating partnerships with local hospitals and charities to expand our support to men, women and children fighting all types of cancer — from prostate cancer in men, to leukemia in children and adolescents.
To date, BAM has donated more than $15 million to leading healthcare and nonprofit partners, including Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center, The Pendleton Foundation, Desert Regional Comprehensive Cancer Center, Hanson House Foundation, Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire, and Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital.
In 2023, BAM expanded its mission by partnering with Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire and Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital to help grant life-changing wishes for local children with critical illnesses while also providing funding for much-needed medical equipment.
Through the BAM Van transportation program, BAM has provided more than 48,000 rides and driven over 342,000 miles, ensuring patients have reliable access to lifesaving cancer treatments and medical appointments.
