Join us in the fight against Breast Cancer!!!!
Making Strides Against Breast Cancerevents bring together people who want to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. People walk as individuals or on teams with family, friends, and coworkers. It is a powerful 5 k noncompetitive walk that raises awareness and funds to end breast cancer.
Making Strides events celebrate and honor breast cancer survivors and caregivers; educate the public about prevention and detection to reduce risk of the disease; and raise funds to help end breast cancer. Last year, nearly 1.2 million Making Strides walkers turned awareness into action by helping to raise more than $60 million for the American Cancer Society to help save lives from breast cancer.
Thanks to making Strides supporters, the American Cancer Society is able to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research to better understand, prevent, find, and treat the disease; provide comprehensive information and services to patients, survivors and caregivers; and ensure access to mammograms for women who need them.
For more information about becoming a Strides TEAM and all other volunteer opportunities available through Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, please contact us.
Event will be held on Saturday, October 22, 2016 at Mizner Park. Check In is at 6:30 am and the Walk starts at 8:00 am.
Be A Part of Something Big - Making Strides raises funds for the American Cancer Society which then funds research, education, advocacy and services. These funds help people stay well, get well, find cures and fight back!
