There’s plenty of time to get a team together, join a team or sign up to walk as an individual for the upcoming American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K (3.1-mile) walk in Boca Raton. The walk raises money and awareness for breast cancer.
The noncompetitive event starts at Mizner Park Amphitheater (590 Plaza Real) at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 22.
The Making Strides of South Palm Beach walk celebrates survivors and raises money for breast cancer research, education and patient services. Participants who raise $100 will receive a 2016 Commemorative Making Strides t-shirt.
Making Strides has been making its impact on fundraising to end breast cancer for decades. Since 1993, more than 12 million walkers nationwide have raised more than $750 million to help fight breast cancer at Making Strides events, according to the American Cancer Society.
To sign up for the local walk or donate to Making Strides, go to the event website. For more information, contact Katie Mixon, SouthPalmBeachFLStrides@cancer.org, 561/650-0119.
