On Sunday, June 1st members of SUHI, 
their family, and friends cheered on participants of the 2008 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Chicago.
Each year participants of the walk raise at least $1,800 dollars each and walk up to 39.3 miles over two days to promote awareness and raise money to combat breast cancer.
The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Chicago had 4,000 participants that raised $9.1 million dollars.
 At the Walk's Closing Ceremony, Sinai Health System was awarded $1 million dollars from the Avon Foundation to continue the patient navigation program and to purchase new mammography equipment. Sinai was one of eight recipients of initial grants from the Avon Walk Chicago that totalled $4,750,000.
