Support Connection, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Yorktown Heights, invites the community to take part in the 31st annual Support-A-Walk for Breast, Ovarian and Gynecological Cancer from 9 a.m. to noon on October 5 at Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) State Park, in Yorktown Heights.

This uplifting annual event shines a light on the needs of people living with breast, ovarian or any gynecological cancer, while raising funds for Support Connection’s free year-round services, including one-on-one peer counseling, support groups, educational and wellness programs, and social activities.

Every year, thousands of people from the Hudson Valley and beyond walk together to celebrate, support and remember loved ones. Family, friends, businesses and organizations all join in to express encouragement and compassion.

“Join us at FDR State Park or walk in your own neighborhood—near or far,” encourages Amanda Margiotta, Support Connection’s communications and development manager. “Walk on your own, form a team with family and friends or participate virtually.” Those that can’t participate can still help the cause by donating, fundraising and spreading the word. 

“Whether you walk with us in the park or across the country, your participation makes a real difference,” adds Margiotta. “We can’t do what we do without you.”

Location: FDR State Park, 2957 Crompond Rd., Yorktown Heights, NY. For more information or to make a donation, call 914-962-6402 or visit SupportConnection.org/support-a-walk.
