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.
