🩷🎀 OCTOBER AIN’T OVER YET!! 🎀🩷

Today, we’re at our Christopher Blenman Older Adult Club in Crown Heights, keeping the spirit of Breast Cancer Awareness Month alive and STRONG! 💪🏽💕

Our members stepped out in ALL their pink glory, taking laps around Crown Heights to raise awareness and show their support! 🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏾‍♂️🩷

But the celebration didn’t stop there! We headed back inside for 15 special laps in honor of our very own Ms. Geraldine Manigault, celebrating 15 YEARS CANCER-FREE!! 🎉👏🏽🎀

15 laps for 15 years of strength, resilience, and SURVIVORSHIP! 💗

Please join us in congratulating Ms. Manigault on this incredible milestone and giving our Christopher Blenman members a BIG round of applause for showing up, showing out, and spreading awareness throughout their community!

🩷 Early detection saves lives. Get screened, spread awareness, and support one another!
