Making Strides against Breast Cancer Walk

Date: Saturday, October 27, 2007 Time:  8:00 AM, Registration 9:00 AM, Walk Place: Central Park in Atlantic Station 245 18th Street, NW              Atlanta, Georgia 30363

The Arab American Women’s Society of Georgia (AAWSG) will join thousands of people in Atlanta in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer! Making Strides is a non-competitive 3 mile walk designed to raise awareness, and raise funds for breast cancer research, services, education and advocacy.  

Breast cancer has touched or will touch someone you know.  The disease will affect nearly 200,000 women this year and claim more than 40,000 lives. Since 1993, 3.5 million walkers across the U.S. have collected more than $230 million to help fight breast cancer. In 2006 alone, 450,000 walkers across the country raised more than 40 million to help fight breast cancer.  AAWSG participants will enjoy a day of exercise, entertainment, and most importantly, they will be honoring someone who has been affected by this disease.

Individuals of all ages are welcome to participate.  Participants are encouraged to raise funds but are not required to raise a certain amount. A minimum donation of $20 is suggested.  Checks are made payable to the American Cancer Society (ACS): Making Strides. Cash or check donations may be turned in to the AAWSG coordinators at registration, and all donations will be collected under the AAWSG team and handed to ACS.

The AAWSG Team will meet by the Registration Tent at 8:00 AM.

We Can’t Wait to See you There!
