This year’s American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event will be held at Settlers Cabin Park (608 Ridge Road in Pittsburgh) from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Oct. 17.
The usual “walk” will be replaced by a drive-thru event, enabling participants to safely participate from the safety of their own cars.
In addition to the normal excitement and energy at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, this year’s event will include a special Tribute Garden, giving people the opportunity to celebrate those who have successfully beat cancer while showing support for those battling the disease and honoring those we have lost.
To join the movement, sign up at MakingStridesWalk.org/greaterpittsburgh. For those who plan on attending on Oct. 17, please follow social distancing guidelines and wear masks when outside of your vehicle.
