North Fork Brest Health Coalition 17th Annual 5K Walk For Breast Cancer Fundraiser at Tanger Outlet Center in Riverhead, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
The North Fork Breast Health Coalition is holding the 17th annual 5K Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness on Sunday, September 27, 2015. The fundraiser takes place at the Riverhead location of Tanger Outlet Center, which sponsors the event. Participants can pre-register or register 7:30AM-8:45AM that morning. The walk begins at 9:00AM. 5k Walk benefits North Fork area breast cancer patients.
The registration fee to participate in the 5K Walk is $20.00 if paid by September 17, 2015 and $25.00 if paid on the day of the event. The first 300 entrants will receive an official walk gift bag. Walkers who have registered by September 18 will be guaranteed a gift bag.
Walkers are encouraged to gather pledges of support from friends, family and colleagues. Top fundraising awards will be given in the following categories: Young Adult, Adult, Business/Team and Breast Cancer Survivor. You must be at least age 13 to participate in the event. Before the opening ceremony starts at 8:45AM, registrants can prepare themselves by enjoying a continental breakfast that includes bagels, muffins and fruit. There will also be an opportunity to buy raffle tickets for dozens of beautiful prizes donated by Tanger Outlet stores and other local businesses.
Although it is possible to sign up that day, registration in advance is recommended. To register or obtain more information, call 631-208-8889 or e-mail nfbhc@optonline.net. Opportunities to participate as a sponsor of the event are still available. Currently led by Susan Ruffini, the all-volunteer, non-profit organization supports local breast-cancer patients with programs such as the Helping Hand grants. Funds raised by the event will also allow the group to continue to provide free services such as yoga, massage therapy, reflexology and support groups to breast-cancer patients and survivors.

Ann Cotton-DeGrasse and Antonio DeGrasse founded the North Fork Breast Health Coalition in 1998.
North Form Breast Health Coalition
The North Fork Breast Health Coalition is working to encourage and assist in the prevention, early intervention and cure of breast cancer through advocacy, awareness, networking, and research. The funds we raise go directly to programs such as "Lend a Helping Hand",which provides grants to patients on the North Fork who are being treated for breast cancer.
We are a group of concerned citizens working in conjunction with other community resources. As a not-for-profit organization, we have no paid employees, but rather return all funds raised for services to those diagnosed with breast cancer on the North Fork. We are committed to finding an answer to the high incidence of breast cancer in our area. Our primary goal is to increase community awareness of the many issues involved in the battle against this disease which kills more than 180,000 women a year in this country. |
