Season 22 of The Bachelor ended on a crazy note with Arie Luyendyk Jr. leaving the woman he proposed to, Becca Kufrin, for the runner-up. But the good news is that Kufrin gets the opportunity to find love on Season 14 of The Bachelorette.

We learned a little bit about the Minnesota native throughout the season from her tattoos to being a fan of Sister Act 2. But here are seven more things to know about Becca Kufrin.

1. She has pledged donations sent to her to go to Stand Up to Cancer

After Arie Luyendyk Jr. brutally broke their engagement in front of cameras, fans tried to show their support for Kufrin. So they donated money to her through Venmo and by the time of The Bachelor: After the Final Rose, there was $6,000 in donations for her to mend her broken heart with food and drink.

“I don’t even know what to think,” she said on the show. “I love my wine don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think I can drink that much. I don’t know.”

So instead she has decided to give the money to Stand Up to Cancer. Kufrin’s own father died of brain cancer when she was 19 years old. After the announcement, Kate Couric tweeted, “PS I’m matching Becca’s donation too! If you want to help us make more cancer patients cancer survivors, please go to Thank you again Becca and thank you all! ❤️❤️ @BachelorABC @thebkoof”
