October is known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

For the entire month, many companies and campaigns are held to bring awareness about ways to prevent the disease, give screenings, and hold walks to raise money for those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. During October, people also wear the color pink. 

Below is a list of places that will be holding their annual breast cancer walks throughout the month in New York City that you can be a part of.
