Discovery To Cure Presents Beverly Levy Walk and Festival

After a two-year hiatus, Discovery To Cure, a program overseen by the Yale School of Medicine will be hosting the Beverly Levy Walk and Festival on Sunday, May 1. In 2013, Beverly Levy experienced that Gynecologic Cancers were sorely underfunded and lacked the proper education and awareness to keep women safe, all while living through her own cancer experience.

Beverly, along with a group of friends and medical professionals put together the first walk in September of 2013 with the goal to raise funds and awareness for Gynecologic Cancers. Sadly, Beverly passed away in 2014 and only got to see her dream for one year. In each year following, Discovery to Cure and its incredible team of volunteers and medical professionals have worked hard to continue her legacy in raising funds and awareness in Beverly’s memory.

For this year, Discovery to Cure’s committee has put together an incredible walk and festival for the whole community. This event will include amazing speakers, a celebratory walk, a DJ, children’s area, community vendors, raffles, and food trucks. We’ve also teamed up with Crafters Care to bring in over 50 vendors to this event.

The event begins at 10am with esteemed speakers starting at 10:45am and the walk to follow. Craft vendors will be open for shopping from 10am -2pm. Parking is free, and there is no cost to shop with the craft vendors. All proceeds from the day will stay local, going to Discovery To Cure at the Yale School of Medicine towards research, education and early detection and prevention of gynecologic cancers.
