“I’m saving about $1,800 a year in energy costs with LED lighting.”*

—Guy Brogna, All Music Inc, Plainview

Meet Guy. He’s a local small business owner, rock bassist, and fan of LEDs. It didn’t hurt that he got $5,900 in rebates to replace his store’s old lighting with energy-efficient fixtures.* He says his store and his guitars look great in the new LED glow. And, with the monthly energy cost savings, he couldn’t be happier.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC) of Long Island

Join Breast Cancer Survivors and Thrivers at American Cancer Society

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC) of Long Island on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024, 7 a.m.-10:30 a.m. (rolling start). Ends approximately at noon.

The 31st annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Long Island is a celebration of courage and hope, and a movement that

unites communities to end breast cancer as we know it, for everyone. Expecting 70,000+ participants.

Over the past three decades, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’s 3- to 5-mile walks have collectively grown into the nation’s largest and most impactful breast cancer movement – providing a supportive community for survivors, caregivers and families alike. Making Strides

Against Breast Cancer funds lifesaving breast cancer research and is committed to advancing health equity through essential programs and services.

Cancer Facts and Figures:

• In 2024, 19,160 women in New York will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast Cancer affects men too.

• There are more than 4 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. today,

including those who have completed treatment and those still undergoing treatment. More than 150,000 of these survivors are living with metastatic breast cancer.

• The death rate from breast cancer dropped by 42% from 1989-2021 as a result of earlier detection through increased awareness and mammography screening, as well as advances in

treatments.

o Despite this drop, Black women are 41% more likely to die of breast cancer than White women overall and are twice as likely to die if they are younger than age 50.

o Breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer in deaths among Black women (6,800 deaths in 2022)

• Since 1993, the American Cancer Society has invested

more than $600 million in breast cancer research.

• No one should face breast cancer alone.

The American Cancer Society helpline provides information and support 24/7 at (800) 227-2345. Visit MakingStridesWalk. org/LongIsland. This event will take place at Jones Beach – Field 5, 1 Ocean Parkway, Wantagh, N.Y.
