Support-A-Walk Overview
Our Annual Support-A-Walk for Breast & Ovarian Cancer is held each year to bring attention to the needs of people living with breast, ovarian or gynecological cancer, and to raise funds for our free support services such as counseling, support groups, educational and wellness programs.
Thousands of people participate in this uplifting community event. Family and friends come together to celebrate, support and remember loved ones. For individuals, businesses and organizations in the community, it is an opportunity to express encouragement and compassion for those living with breast, ovarian, or gynecological cancer. Everyone is welcome to participate in whatever way they can.
Walk With Us, Wherever You Are
On Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022, we will walk at FDR State Park in Yorktown Heights, NY and also in communities across the country!
We invite you to join us at the park, OR walk where you are, near and far, to raise funds for our free breast, ovarian and gynecological cancer support services. No matter where you live, you can participate in the Support-A-Walk as we all work together for a common cause.
We serve people nationwide, and people nationwide can walk with us.

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!
