Sista Strut is returning to Atlanta this October to raise awareness about breast cancer and its disproportionate impact on Black women.
The annual 3K walk will take place Saturday (October 3) at The Works Upper Westside, bringing together survivors, families, friends and community members for a morning centered on breast cancer awareness, early detection and support.
This year's Sista Strut will benefit I Will Survive, Inc., an Atlanta-based nonprofit organization that provides prevention education, economic support and other services to individuals and families affected by breast cancer.
The Sista Strut Village will open at 8 a.m., featuring music, photo opportunities, sponsor giveaways and more. A rally will begin at 10 a.m., followed by the 3K walk at 11 a.m.
Sista Strut was created to raise awareness about breast cancer among women of color and connect communities with resources that can help with prevention and early detection.
Black women continue to face significant disparities in breast cancer outcomes. According to event organizers, Black women in the United States have a 41% higher breast cancer death rate than white women. Black women are also more likely to be diagnosed with the disease before age 40 and with larger tumors.
The event aims to shine a light on those disparities while celebrating the strength of breast cancer survivors and the family members, friends and communities who support them.
Registration is $25 for individuals and $30 per team member through October 3, plus a per-person processing fee. Registration includes an official Sista Strut T-shirt, while team members will also receive an official Sista Strut backpack.
T-shirt pickup will take place from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the iHeartRadio Building, located at 1255 Makers Way NW, Suite A, Atlanta, Georgia 30318.
Organizers recommend using the Up Front Parking deck, which is closest to the iHeartRadio Building. Parking is free for up to two hours, and attendees can scan the posted QR code upon arrival to begin their parking session.
