So we invite you to join us for our 4th Annual Sista Strut Virtual Breast Cancer Walk, brought to you by Forman Mills! It all happens on Saturday, October 17th and the goal of Sista Strut is to heighten awareness about the issues of breast cancer in women of color as well as providing information on community resources to help fight the disease.
A portion of the proceeds from Sista Strut are donated to The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the first and largest scientific organization in the world focused on every aspect of high-quality, innovative cancer research.
Due to social distancing measures in response to Covid-19, this year we want you and your girlfriends, husbands, wives and/or kids to walk in your own neighborhoods in small groups socially distanced so that we can continue to stop the spread of Covid-19 but not forgetting the importance of the fight against Breast Cancer.
And we want to see you walking so make sure you use the hashtag #cantstopthestrut when sharing your pics and videos on our socials!
Register here and get more information about this year’s walk and where a portion of the proceeds will be going. You can’t stop the strut! There is ONE swag bag pick up date. Friday, October 16th from 3pm-6pm at our iHeartMedia Philadelphia Office, 111 Presidential Blvd, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004. **all registered walkers will receive the same swag bag**
Unfortunately, we are not able to mail the swag bags. You may pick up for multiple people – please have a copy of the confirmation number of who you are picking up for so there is no confusion. Shirts sizes are *requested*. We will try our best to fulfil all requests, but due to increased registration, we have had to estimate sizes to get shirts in time.
