Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
From event organizer:
On Saturday, October 11, 2025, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Detroit will bring more than 10,000 participants together at the Corner Ballpark and throughout the streets of Corktown. Together, we walk to honor survivors and thrivers, remember those we’ve lost, and raise critical funds for the American Cancer Society’s breast cancer research, advocacy, and support programs.
The event will take place from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Please note that streets along the route will be closed by the police during this time, and many closures will begin earlier than 8:00 AM to ensure participant safety.
While we recognize that large events can have an impact, we are grateful to call Corktown home for this incredible day of hope and community.
This year, we would love to invite you and your block club to join in showing support. A simple way to do so is by adding a touch of pink to your homes, porches, or front yards—whether it’s a ribbon, a sign, or any creative pink display. This small gesture goes a long way in surrounding survivors and their families with love as they walk by.
For additional details about the event, please visit: www.MakingStridesWalk.org/DetroitMI.
We are proud to partner with the Corktown community and hope you’ll join us in painting the neighborhood pink on October 11. Thank you for helping us show the power of Corktown’s spirit to everyone walking with us that day.
