The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks raise awareness and funds to save lives from breast cancer. The power and passion of these events is driven by a team of volunteers who provide year round strategic direction, community outreach, event planning & coordination and logistical execution, with the overall objective of revenue growth.
We are looking for leadership volunteers to fill key roles on our Making Strides of New London County Committee. Position opportunities include: Committee Chair, Survivorship Chair, Team Recruitment Chair, Corporate Enagagement Chair and Event Planning Chair. These positions are all leadership roles with a 1-2 year committment (based on your availability).
We are excited to be moving to a NEW location for 2017, the Historic New London Waterfront District! With this move, we hope to engage more participants from across New London County and raise even more life-saving funds.
Our Making Strides of New London County event brings together more than 500 participants annually and has raised more than $275,000 over the past 5 years!

Mission Statement
The mission of the American Cancer Society is to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.
Description
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is more than just the name of a walk; it describes the progress we’re making together to save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
Each year our walks are held nationwide to celebrate those who have battled breast cancer, educate about ways to reduce the risk, and empower communities to join the fight. Since 1993, nearly seven million walkers across the country have raised more than $400 million through Making Strides Against Breast Cancer - funding breakthrough breast cancer research and helping people stay well, get well, find cures, and fight back. In 2013 alone, nearly 800,000 walkers across the country collected $60 million to fight breast cancer.
Here in New England, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer has been taking place since 1993, and we have raised more than $46 million dollars. Each year more and more people come out to support the efforts of the American Cancer Society and join our cause. In 2013, over 3,000 supporters walked the 5K route and helped raise over $130,000 in New Haven County.
Our event is an empowering experience that attracts participants who are committed to taking an active role in creating a cancer-free world. Our passionate supporters are an important audience for your company, and our event offers a valuable opportunity to reach them and let the community know that you too are committed to eliminating breast cancer.
