Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Strength fro Life

Strength for Life is a local nonprofit providing free exercise classes and wellness retreats to cancer patients.  Our classes are held at various locations in Nassau and Suffolk to make it as accessible as possible for the survivor to commit to the class and to ensure progress and results. 

We rely on our fundraising efforts to afford the programs and equipment for the survivors.

This month we have a variety of ways to help our cause:

On October 29, the Islander vs. Ranger game - we have tickets with the proceeds going directly to Strength for Life.

On October 31, there is a 'Stella & Dot' online shopping fundraiser  with proceeds directly going to Strength for Life

On November 24, the 4th Annual Evelyn Knapp "Run to Remember" Fun Run and Wellness Walk at Sunken Meadow State Park.  Bring the family there is something active for everyone in your family.  The 5K trail run is challenging, the wellness walk is appropriate for all fitness levels and the Kids Fun Run is perfect to 'set that example' for the little ones.

Please consider attending one of our events in person or virtual shopping and or donating.  Every dollar helps!!!
