Baldwin Park Ready to "Make Strides" Against Breast Cancer
This Saturday at Morgan Park, hundreds of people will take part in the "Making Strides" event organized by the American Cancer Society.
Some will walk to honor their wives, some for their mothers, and many more for the thousands of people who fight daily to beat breast cancer.
This Saturday, Baldwin Park will join hundreds of communities around the country by participating in the "Making Strides" event, an effort of the American Cancer Society (ACS) to raise funds to fight against the disease.
