iHEARTMEDIA PHILADELPHIA stations Urban AC WDAS, Urban WUSL (POWER 99) and Smooth Jazz WDAS-A (SMOOTH JAZZ ‘JJZ) will hold its inaugural SISTA STRUT 3K BREAST CANCER WALK on SATURDAY, JUNE 17th at XFINITY LIVE! in PHILADELPHIA.  Proceeds will benefit the AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR CANCER RESEARCH. 

The WALK aims to raise breast cancer awareness among AFRICAN-AMERICAN women, who are 41% more likely to die from the disease than white women, making screenings and early detection crucial. The three stations will promote SISTA STRUT on-air, as well as on the stations’ websites and social media pages. In addition, on-air personalities from all three stations will be on site to host the event. 

WDAS air personality FRANKIE DARCELL said, “As one of the founders of DETROIT’s SISTA STRUT, I’m ecstatic that nearly 20 years later the event will be held in our PHILADELPHIA community. I’m walking for my mother, a 16-year survivor, for a college friend who lost her 16-year battle this year and for all the AFRICAN-AMERICAN women in our community that our stations aim to encourage to get mammograms and screenings.”

Presented by CRACKER BARREL, the SISTA STRUT rally will start at 8a (ET) and the walk will begin at 10a (ET)  The event is sponsored by BLESSINGS4EVER HOME CARE, FORMAN MILLS, the PHILADELPHIA RECYCLING OFFICE and THE TAX DIVAS, a division of ANITA T. CONNER & ASSOCIATES P.C.
