Breast cancer walk in limbo

ATLANTA - The Avon Foundation will decide by Friday whether to call off Atlanta&#39;s Three-Day Walk. <br> <br> The event drew three-thousand participants last year. <br> <br> Negotiations betweeen the foundation&#39;s Breast Cancer Crusade team and Pallotta TeamWorks in Los Angeles apparently failed over the weekend to resolve whether Pallotta can fulfill its contract. The company manages the fund-raiser in Atlanta and other cities. <br> <br> If it can&#39;t manage the events, the walks in Atlanta on October fourth through sixth will be canceled along with walks in New York and Los Angeles. <br> <br> A former spokesman said last month that Pallotta Teamworks had shut its doors and laid off more than 250 employees. <br> <br> The director of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade - Susan Heaney - says finding another promoter at this point does not appear feasible. <br> <br> The walk in Atlanta goes from Lake Lanier to Piedmont Park. <br> <br> News that the walk may be canceled angered some walkers, who must pay a 75-dollar registration fee and raise a minimum of 19-hundred dollars to participate.
