Welcome to the 6th annual Flock Cancer Street Stroll!
This year we are proud to bring you the Green's Heating and Air Flock Cancer Street Stroll presented by Blue Cross of Idaho !! Our stroll is a community event to celebrate, honor, raise awareness and money for local breast cancer fighters and families. For the Fighters, the Survivors, and the Taken — We Remember, We Fight, We Hope.
We will gather to stroll the blocks along Harrison Boulevard in Boise, Idaho. The rain or shine stroll is one loop – starting and ending where you please – clockwise around the boulevard. THERE IS NO START OR FINISH LINE!! Enjoy the historic homes, the festive flocking décor, the encouraging homeowner decorations as well as sponsor support. The stroll can be done any time between 10 and noon around the 1 mile loop of Harrison boulevard.
Before or after the stroll please join us at the Flock Party on Hazel street to take group photos, grab a bite from the food trucks and Survivors can visit the Survivor VIP Lounge for a delightful gift from our generous sponsors!
To further our mission, once again the Saint Alphonsus big pink mammogram bus will be onsite providing screening appointments at the event.

Charity Partners: Flock Cancer Idaho is an organization dedicated to organizing events to honor the legacy of and to celebrate breast cancer survivors, caregivers and their families and to use the events to raise money for vital Treasure Valley recovery and care programs which can improve those journeys. We are a fully volunteer based organization with NO paid staff. The money raised and pledged to Flock Cancer first goes to support the costs for the Street Stroll event, and then goes directly to our charity partners. The Flock Cancer Idaho Foundation Grant is in place to support costs for women who need assistance paying for screening mammograms. We are committed to ensuring no women are ever turned away who need and seek services for preventive screening. It is critical to our mission to improve Idaho care and screening rates for breast cancer detection. For any assistance or information, please contact [email protected] . Here is some information about past charity partners: The YMCA Oncology Recovery Program is designed to meet the needs of cancer survivors before, during and/or after treatment in a safe and supportive environment. Research shows that when geared specifically to the patient, exercise is safe for all physical levels of ability. Additionally, it is suggested that interaction with individuals who have similar circumstances may lead to benefits beyond exercise alone. Participants partake in physical and social activities focused on strengthening the whole person and improving quality of life. By shifting the emphasis away from the disease, participants move beyond cancer in spirit, mind, and body. Bustin Out Of Boise is a 15 year old non-profit founded in Boise as a 'gap filler' organization to walk beside cancer fighters, survivors and their families to help them during their journey with aid and services they might need to support them and their families. Last year we also partnered with two new charity organizations: Angel Wings Network and Surviving Hearts Cancer Support Group who specifically provide support and aid to our rural fighters and survivors. With your help, we are going to make an amazing impact on cancer supporting programs covering Treasure Valley as well as rural communities in Idaho.
