Make Strides With Us
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events 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.
