Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk

MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER WALK
2026

Because the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk has again been cancelled in Damariscotta this October for a lack of volunteers, we are pleased to organize our own garden club local walk.

As we are all aware, it is important to continue the fight and contribute to finding a cure for this disease.
We welcome all Garden Club members, their families, neighbors and friends to join us in this hopeful and important event. The details are as follows:

Date: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4TH AT 1PM
Place: Start at St. Columbia’s Episcopal Church, 32 Emery Lane,
Boothbay Harbor to walk the Penny Lake Preserve near by
Registration: on site before starting the walk
Donations: by checks only, made out to the American Cancer Society

Please wear pink clothing, and bring drinking water
If members cannot attend the walk on October 4th, the hosts will be attending the August and September meetings where you can bring us your donation.

Thank you in advance for participating in our local Breast Cancer Walk. We hope to see you on October 4th.

MAKING STRIDES – BREAST CANCER WALK

On Saturday, October 4 th , 2025 the Boothbay Region Garden Club sponsored a “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walk. This is the
eighteenth consecutive year that our club has contributed to cancer fund raising.

For the first time, we organized the event ourselves to walk locally in Boothbay Harbor. It was a beautiful day in Penny Lake Land
Trust, and the 35 walkers enjoyed the outing.

As a result, we sent a major contribution to the American Cancer Society so they continue the fight against Breast Cancer.

2024

Once again, our Club sponsored a Team in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Damariscotta on Saturday, October 19th, 2024 at 2:30 PM.

So many of us and others we know have been touched by breast cancer, we need to continue to fight and contribute to find a cure for this disease. We welcome all Garden Club members, their families and friends to join us in this hopeful and important event.

Each year, you can support our Club’s Striders Team in several ways. You can join the team and walk the non-competitive three-mile course. This has proven to be a wonderful time of fellowship. You can also make a personal donation or gather donations from family and friends. ANY and ALL contributions are GREATLY appreciated.

There are two ways to give your contribution/donation: you can go directly to the American Cancer Society site (below) and donate to our Boothbay Region Garden Club link with your credit card or you can mail your check to my address below. Your check should be made out to the American Cancer Society, and I will scan it and add it to our club contributions.
