On September 9th, 2023 reporters from News 12 Brooklyn were present at the 15th Annual Brooklyn T.E.A.L.® Walk/Run® Celebration. The segment highlighted the Walk/Run® event.

T.E.A.L.® held the 12th Annual Brooklyn T.E.A.L.® Walk/Run virtually on September 12th, 2020. Survivors, their family members and friends, and many others were able to participate in the virtual walk or run to raise awareness for ovarian cancer from anywhere in the country. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, T.E.A.L.®’s usual in-person event in Prospect Park moved to a virtual platform for the safety of participants. T.E.A.L.® volunteers, staff, board members, and celebrities filmed a video to give participants a chance to feel connected and virtually kick off the event together online.
Thousands of runners and walkers gathered in Prospect Park on September 7th to participate in the 11th Annual Brooklyn T.E.A.L.® Walk/Run, honor the strength of survivors, and look forward to a day without ovarian cancer.
The yearly event featured a non-competitive walk, a 5K, the T.E.A.L.® Survivor Ceremony at the Bandshell, and several booths from T.E.A.L.® and sponsors.
New to this year’s walk was the Amazing Lady Membership Program. T.E.A.L.® staff members talked to survivors about the program, helping them sign up to receive the free T.E.A.L.® Kits.
On August 12th, a bake sale was held at St. Mary’s Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church in Lynbrook, NY to raise funds for Team Margaret. The bake sale was open to the church community and raised $141. Thank you to team captain, Janice, for putting this together!
