The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk will be held Sunday, Oct. 18 in Ocean City, N.J. and will unite the community with a shared determination to finish the fight against breast cancer. Registration for this noncompetitive, inspirational event begins at 8:30 a.m. and the walk is set to start at 10:00 a.m.
Dollars raised enable the Society to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research, provide free, comprehensive information and support to those touched by the disease, and help people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it’s most treatable. Since 1993, more than 11 million supporters have raised more than $685 million nationwide. Last year, Making Strides of South Jersey (Ocean City and Pennsauken events) welcomed more than 15,000 walkers and raised nearly $874,000.
According to the American Cancer Society Cancer Facts & Figures 2015, this year, an estimated 231,840 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and an estimated 40,290 will die from the disease. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women (excluding skin cancer) and second to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in women.

Dennisville – As a parent of a Tech student it would be great if the school would update their staff directory. So many old staff still listed and no new teachers listed. What gives?
