Pass the Torch with FORCE!
Building on the success of last year’s Passing of the Torch in Boston, FORCE will host this fall’s free event in three cities:
- Boston, Sept. 30, Jamaica Pond
6:00 pm – 9:00 pm - Tampa, Sept. 30, Cotanchobee Park
(by Channelside) 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm - Ft. Lauderdale, Oct. 7, Las Olas
Riverfront Mall Gazebo
6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
(The Ft. Lauderdale event is a collaboration
with the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.)
Passing of the Torch highlights the hereditary link between breast and ovarian cancer. The event honors cancer survivors and individuals at high risk, remembers those lost to cancer, and recognizes families affected by cancer. Can’t attend? You can still show your support. Make a donation or purchase a luminary to be displayed at the event. Your donation helps raise awareness of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and helps FORCE save lives! See our section on Passing of the Torch for more details.
