BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Four LIU Brooklyn teams took part in the 13th Annual Making Strides of Brooklyn Walk in Prospect Park on Sunday, October 18th, helping raise money for the American Cancer Society. The LIU baseball, lacrosse, women's basketball and swimming teams all took part in the event, which saw 1,296 teams and 7,000+ participants raise over $625,000 to help fund breast cancer research.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks are the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting nearly 300 communities with a shared determination to finish the fight against breast cancer. Passionate walk participants raise critical funds that enable the American Cancer Society to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research; provide free, comprehensive information and support to those touched by breast cancer; and help people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it is most treatable.
