to Raise Funds & Support for Breast & Gynecological Cancers City of Hope, a cancer research and treatment center just outside of Los Angeles, will host its first-ever virtual Walk for Hope on Sunday, October 4, to find a cure for breast and gynecological cancers. The annual event began in 1997 and is the largest public event City of Hope produces, with approximately 12,000 attendees last year. The world has changed, but the reasons why we walk have not. Join cancer survivors, their friends and family, medical professionals and supporters from across the country in the fight against women's cancers. The virtual Walk for Hope offers a safe, fun and meaningful way for people to get out of the house, get some exercise and virtually engage with friends, family and others. Register and fundraise today at walkforhope.org. Be on the lookout for special announcements about ways to connect via social media, the wellness challenge, fundraising incentives and more. As long as cancer still exists, #WeStillWalk for Hope. Generated funds will be used to support City of Hope's Women's Cancers Program, the only one in the nation that offers an integrated team of professionals who focus on the disease as well as the biological, psychological and social factors that play a role in the lives of women battling cancer.

| • National Candy Corn Day - Celebrate this fat-free sugar kick by testing your trivia knowledge of the humble Halloween candy.
Nearly 35 million pounds of candy corn is made every year - and that equates to about 9 billion individual pieces. Candy corn has made its way into other sweet treats, including candy-corn M&Ms and Oreo cookies. Candy corn looks good for its age - the recipe is over 130 years old. It was originally crafted in the 1880s by Wunderlee Candy Company. The candy-corn color palette of yellow, white and orange was selected to reflect a real corn kernel. Candy corn isn't just for Halloween, though 75 percent of it is produced for that holiday. Valentine's Day inspired Cupid Corn (pink, red and white). Red, green and white corn that's made for Christmas is referred to as Reindeer Corn. |
