Nonprofit starts new tradition with T.E.A.L. Brooklyn Run and Exhibition to fight ovarian cancer
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The T.E.A.L. (Tell Every Amazing Lady) run in Prospect Park started 17 years ago, but this year, the nonprofit is starting a new tradition.
On Saturday, Sept. 6, the organization that works to fight ovarian cancer is holding a 5K run followed by an exhibition at Nitehawk Cinema Prospect Park.
For the first time ever, families and teams can honor the women they love and those they have lost to ovarian cancer on the big screen.
Everyone who purchases a ticket will have access to the Trees Lounge in Nitehawk Cinema Prospect Park, that will have photo ops, activities, giveaways and access to onsite genetic testing with jscreen.
There will also be three special screenings, including The Amazing Lady (Survivor/Patient) screening, The Magnolia Memorial screening and a movie screening of "Love, Gilda."
The funds raised during the event will be used to continue to fund research, raise awareness and support families impacted by ovarian cancer.
Register for the Brooklyn 5K Run, The Exhibition or Walk Anywhere Package at www.tealwalk.org/brooklyn.
