Making Strides of Queens

The noncompetitive walking event unites communities to honor and celebrate breast cancer survivors, educate people about the importance of early detection and prevention, and raise money to fund lifesaving research and support programs. 

There are many ways to get involved with Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Participants can register and lead a team, walk with an existing team or go solo, volunteer or become a sponsor. 

There are new elements to the walk this year, such as Reflection Row. People can purchase a pink flag at the walk and dedicate it to someone they love who has fought or is fighting cancer, or if they themselves are a survivor. People can walk with those flags and plant them in the ground the last mile of the walk to represent all those we are fighting for. There will also be a Food Truck Row, as well as new tents (Caregiver and Fitness Zones).
