Help American Cancer Society fundraising staff plan and execute Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks throughout New Jersey. Making Strides is a powerful event to raise awareness and funds to end breast cancer. It is the largest and most impactful network of breast cancer events in the nation, uniting nearly 300 communities to finish the fight. The noncompetitive three to five-mile walks raise critical funds that enable the American Cancer Society to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research, provide free information and services, and ensure access to mammograms for women who need them.

Volunteer Opportunities:

  • Manage social media networks
  • Online fundraising website management
  • Assist with promoting Making Strides in local media outlets
  • Attend local community events and health fairs acting as an official American Cancer Society representative (training provided)
  • Develop plan to recruit and recognize breast cancer survivors
  • Recruit and manage day of volunteers
  • Clerical support
  • Day of volunteer - set up, breakdown, registration, route marshal, water stops, and other volunteer opportunities as needed
