About two-thirds of women with breast cancer in the US receive a diagnosis at an early stage. Here’s how you can join the fight against the disease this month:
- Cornhole Tournament to help “toss out breast cancer” | Thursday, Oct. 12 | 4-7 p.m. | 2901 Maplewood Ave., Winston-Salem | $50-$250 | All proceeds go to the Novant Health Foundation to provide mammograms for local women
- A Walk In The Park | Saturday, Oct. 21 | 8 a.m-2 p.m.| 370 Oak Summit Rd., Winston-Salem | $28 | Lace up your sneakers and join the fight against breast cancer during the walk. Proceeds will go toward research, awareness, and breast cancer patients.
- All Mounds Matter 5K Run/Walk | Sunday Oct. 29 | 9 a.m.-3 p.m. | 245 N. Main St., Kernersville| $40.00 | The race will support the Cancer Services of Winston-Salem. Women aged 40 and plus can schedule their mobile mammogram on site. Price increases after Oct. 13.
