6th Annual Walk Through the Park

Team Tarro, Inc., a local charitable organization focused on

raising money for breast cancer research and early detection, has announced its

6th Annual Walk Through the Park, to be held on May 4, 2013 at Slater Park, Pawtucket, RI. Registration
opens at 9 a.m. at the Slater Park Carousel with the walk commencing at 10 a.m. Group picture is at 9:50 am. 

Since its inception in 2008, Team Tarro, Inc. has raised more than $270,000 to support the work of the Anne C. Pappas Center for Breast Imaging at Rhode Island Hospital, in order to purchase the most advanced equipment available for cancer detection, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, to support the research efforts of breast cancer oncologist Ann Partridge, MD.

Team Tarro was founded in 2000 by Mary Tarro, a remarkable
woman of strength and courage, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994 and
lived with recurrences of the disease until she passed away in 2009. Her goal was to create a 100 percent volunteer team to lead fundraising efforts that will ensure that early detection is made available to women in Rhode Island while supporting research efforts to eradicate the disease.

Refreshments, carousel rides and music provided by BoDee’s
Circle of Music will be available for the enjoyment of walkers and their families.
