Michigan Making Strides
The American Cancer Society’s annual walk encourages participants to create teams with friends and family to help raise money for breast cancer research and patient lodging
and transportation. The noncompetitive walk is 3 miles with a 1-mile turnaround option. Participants will meet at The Corner Ballpark in Corktown — where kid-friendly activities will be available — before walking through this historic Detroit neighborhood on closed city streets. The event also takes place in Ann Arbor at Washtenaw Community College and in Rochester at Rochester Municipal Park. Oct. 5, 12, and 26. Multiple locations; acsevents.org.
Bras for a Cause
The 16th annual event raises funds for Gilda’s Club Metro Detroit, which offers educational resources and more to those impacted by breast cancer. The event honors the memory of Shannon Watson by having local artists transform a breast cancer survivor’s bra into art. The event features a silent art bra auction, a fashion show, and live music. Oct. 5. Royal Oak Music Theatre, 318 W. 4th St., Royal Oak; p2p.onecause.com/bfac.
More Than Pink Walk Where You Are

Top fundraisers will earn a commemorative shirt that they can wear on their walk with friends and family. Oct. 26. Where you are; info-komen.org.
