City of Alexandria’s Dine Out and Shop for the Walk Event
Scheduled for Tuesday, October 16

The City of Alexandria’s Walk to Fight Breast Cancer is sponsoring the 3rd Annual Dine Out and Shop for the Walk to Fight Breast Cancer on Tuesday, October 16, to raise money for Alexandria’s Breast Cancer Fund for Early Detection and Education administered by Inova Alexandria Hospital. Thirty-one Alexandria restaurants and stores will be donating a portion of their proceeds throughout the day on October 16 to support the Fund.

The Fund has received more than $1 million from the Dine Out and Shop event and the Walk to Fight Breast Cancer since its inception in 1994. The Fund has provided mammograms and other early detection services to nearly 4,000 under-insured Alexandria residents.

To obtain a list of Alexandria businesses participating in this event, please visit www.alexcancerwalk.com. Alexandria’s Walk to Fight Breast Cancer is also coming up on Saturday, October 20, at 8 a.m. so you can walk off those extra calories! All information, including registration materials and online registration payment, are available on the web site or by calling 703.838.5030.
