October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and once again Team FA will be participating in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.

This year it will take place on Saturday, October 4, along the riverfront in Grangabel Park in downtown Riverhead.

We will meet at 9:30 a.m., and the walk begins at 10 a.m.

Last year, we had 34 walkers with us and we raised almost $2,500. Special thanks to the Michael J. Grant Campus Rotaract Club who came out to walk with us and the Suffolk Cheer Team who cut the ribbon at the start!

As part of the larger NYSUT family, these vital donations support the American Cancer Society in breast cancer research, provide free information and support and help people reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it may be more treatable.

Please support Team FA this year by joining the walk and/or by donating. All are welcome. For more information please contact me!
