Donate and Fundraise

Annual Support-A-Walk ~ Sunday, October 1, 2023

The Support-A-Walk is our most important annual fundraiser. We rely on YOUR donations to sustain our free breast, ovarian and gynecological cancer support services. We do NOT receive funds from Relay for Life, Making Strides, American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen, or any other national cancer group.

We ask anyone who participates in the Walk to donate whatever amount they can. EVERY donation makes a difference! YOU make a difference!

Walk With Us, Wherever You Are

Join us at FDR State Park in Yorktown Heights, NY, or walk in your own community. Ask family and friends to join you, wherever they are.

Fundraising and donating are simple, no matter where you are!

Whether you decide to walk or not, and whether you’re near or far, you can always participate by raising funds and donating!

Note to our returning fundraisers: We are using our user-friendly fundraising tool via Network For Good again. If you participated in fundraising for our 2022 Support-A-Walk, when you click the link to start your 2023 fundraising page, you will be able to access your Network for Good account again, but you will have to set up a new page for this year’s Walk. If you did not participate last year, you will have to set up a new Network for Good account. It’s a simple process!
