Support Connection Launches Team Spirit Campaign

Support Connection, Inc. announces the launch of a new “Team Spirit” campaign for their 20th Anniversary Support-A-Walk for Breast and Ovarian Cancer, which will take place on Sunday, October 5, 2014 (rain or shine) at FDR Park, Route 202, Yorktown Heights, NY. 

The Support-A-Walk is held to bring attention to the needs of people affected by breast and ovarian cancer, and to raise funds for Support Connection’s free support services for those living with these diseases. People across the Hudson Valley and beyond utilize Support Connection’s free services. 

Each year, thousands of people take part in the Support-A-Walk. This year Support Connection will celebrate the 20th anniversary of this inspiring and uplifting community event. Participants of all ages complete a 3-mile walk, often in honor of loved ones who are affected by breast and ovarian cancer. 

To kick off the 20th anniversary celebration, Support Connection announces their Team Spirit Campaign which encourages friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors to “team up” for the Walk. Teams are groups of people who decide to participate in the Support-A-Walk together. From the beginning, teams have played a crucial role in the event’s success. Teams also symbolize the meaning and impact of the day. 

Team activities can include seeking donations on behalf of the Team, planning fundraising events, inviting others to participate, spreading the word about the Walk. Many of these activities can be done even if Team members can’t attend. Teams that do attend together often create signs or banners to carry while they walk, and gather for Team photos as part of the morning’s festivities. 

This year, Team Spirit Awards will be presented. There are awards for: the top 3 Teams for fundraising; the top 3 Teams for number of Team members; the most creative Team sign or banner.
