2nd Annual Empowering Steps Walk
for Gynecologic Cancer
Our 2nd Annual Empowering Steps Walk was bigger and better. It was another beautiful day, with more than 400 walkers, raising awareness and critical funding for the Ovarian Cancer Project. Thank you to our sponsors, walkers, team fundraisers, volunteers, and board of directors. Your support and enthusiasm made the walk a tremendous success. Together, we raised over $45,500. We thank everyone who participated in our 50/50 and basket raffles. Your generosity drives our mission forward as we build a strong community for everyone affected by gynecologic cancer.
This year’s walk sponsors included Webster’s Bistro & Bar, Ambry Genetics, Bobbi, Jo & James Schweitzer, Beverly DiPalma Graphic Design, The Coppola Firm, Erie & Niagara Insurance, European Wax Center & Laser, Fox Valley Country Club, Guard Construction & Contracting Corp., KeyBank, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Waterford Advisors, Bliss Construction, Buffalo Limousine, BXI Consultants Inc., CJ Sound, OneBridge Benefits and Piver Center/Catholic Health.
