Join Us for the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" Walk

October 16, 2012

You are invited to support the annual "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" Walkathon which will take place on Sunday, October 21, 2012 at the Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens; the Staten Island location is at Clove Lakes Park.

Since 1998, each year the St. John's campus comes alive with activity as the fall semester starts and pink begins to pop up everywhere. Our students and the St. John's University community join in the effort to raise awareness and gain knowledge of preventative measures against a deadly form of cancer that strikes so many women and men — breast cancer.

The Office of Community Relations, with the assistance of Student Life, will be gearing up for this walk to fight cancer. Many activities will be scheduled on campus and the major event — the walk in Flushing Meadows Corona Park — will be held on Sunday, October 21, 2012. Everyone is encouraged to join in this year's efforts to raise funds for patient care, research and educational endeavors by the American Cancer Society (ACS).
