Tucson, Arizona October 22 nd 2017-The American Cancer Society is seeking volunteers in Tucson to be a part of the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event scheduled for October 22 nd 2017. Community volunteers help lead and organize the event with the support of American Cancer Society staff. From assisting with planning the annual event to taking part the day-of, there are various volunteer opportunities for interested community members.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events unite the community with a shared determination to help create a world free from the pain and suffering caused by breast cancer. Dollars raised by Making Strides supporters help the American Cancer Society ensure no one faces breast cancer alone by funding innovative breast cancer research; promoting education and risk reduction; and providing comprehensive patient support to those who need it most.

Since 1993, more than 12 million supporters have raised more than $750 million nationwide. Last year, 8500 walkers in Tucson helped to raise more than $204,000

We're determined to finish the fight against cancer. As the nation’s largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research, we’re finding cures and ensuring people facing cancer have the help they need and continuing the fight for access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, clean air, and more.
