MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER
Every October Hofstra participates in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at Jones Beach. Many different teams represent Hofstra at the walk, including an OSLA team for students and staff who are not affiliated with any other Hofstra organizations participating in the walk. In 2012, 275 members of the Hofstra community attended the walk and raised over $8,600 for the American Cancer Society to help fight breast cancer. Join us in October 2013! Check back here for more information on how to sign-up in September 2013.
