Walk for Beauty
A collaboration between Stony Brook University and the Ward Melville Heritage Organization, the Walk for Beauty has raised more than $1.2 million for cancer research since its inception in 1994. Funds also help pay for wigs and prostheses for cancer patients. The event is an all-volunteer initiative with no administrative costs. All proceeds stay in the community to benefit cancer research at Stony Brook.
