October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Local 3 IBEW’s Apprentice Committee took part in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MABC) campaign by organizing a team for the breast cancer walk on the morning of Sunday, October 16, in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens. Local 3 apprentices Anthony Murillo and Scott Avnyin co-chaired the Local 3 Apprentice Committee team. Local 3 members and families proudly walked side by side with community members and raised over $4,000! Funds go toward critical research and services for people trying to cope with their breast cancer experience.

 

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer takes place throughout the month of October in more than 150 communities nationwide this year. Find an event in your area.
