October is [Breast Cancer Awareness Month](http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month?ref=bklyner.com), and an important event is coming to [Prospect Park](https://www.prospectpark.org/visit-the-park/park-map/points-interest/points-interest-nethermead/?ref=bklyner.com) to raise funds and involve the community.

The [Making Strides of Brooklyn Walk](http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?sid=16393&type=fr%5Finformational&pg=informational&fr%5Fid=69987&ref=bklyner.com) fundraising event will take place at the [Nethermead in Prospect Park](https://www.google.com/maps?q=Lincoln+Rd+and+Ocean+Ave,+Brooklyn+NY,+11225+&ref=bklyner.com) on Sunday, October 16 at 10am.

According to the [participant website](http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/MakingStridesAgainstBreastCancer/MSABCCY15EA?pg=entry&fr%5Fid=69987&ref=bklyner.com), “the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks are the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting nearly 300 communities with a shared determination to finish the fight.”
