The American Cancer Society is happy to announce that the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk will take place on Sunday, October 17, 2021 at Manhattanville College in Purchase. NYSUT is once again a Flagship Sponsor. We will happily return with some modifications for the safety of all. Our retiree team, NYSUT RETIREES, is already registered and we are ready to join this year's Making Strides Movement. Since teams are being staggered by alphabetical order, our time to walk is from 10:00 to 11:00. All walkers must be registered. You can register online or at the walk. The walk will be restricted to the campus and a map of the route is available online if needed. Go to MakingStridesWalk.org for all the up to date information on this year's event.
Each year a large number of men and women are diagnosed with breast cancer. You may know some of them. These individuals may even be family members or friends of yours. We know the way to put an end to this horrible disease is through research. The American Cancer Society leads the way world wide in this effort and lives are saved thanks to this important funding. Each year we walk to raise the funds that will keep this research going because we know we can defeat breast cancer one day.
So now we invite you to join us in our efforts. We need your help to make this year's walk a true success. You can join us as a team member and work to raise funds with your family and friends or you can make a donation to our team. Either way you can find us at MakingStridesWalk.org. Search for our team, NYSUT RETIREES. Donations can be made online or a check can be mailed to L. Mollo, 46 Woodcrest Avenue, White Plains, NY 10604.
COVID-19 has put many things on hold, but cancer isn't one of them. That's why we need your support now more than ever. Every dollar raised that goes into breast cancer research is a gift of time to a patient and his/her family. We made our fund raising goal last year. Please help us do it again!
