Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Walnut Creek depends on volunteers to be successful. Share your time so that no one has to face a breast cancer diagnosis alone. As a volunteer, you may help with check-in, water stations, information, and much more. If you want to help us save lives from breast cancer, volunteer.

About this event
The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks raise awareness and funds to save lives from breast cancer. Each event is a noncompetitive 3 to 5 mile walk that brings people together to make a difference for everyone who has been touched by breast cancer. The events raise money to fund innovative research, provide free information and support, and to help people reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it's most treatable.
From the opening ceremony to the post-walk entertainment, a Making Strides event is a celebration of survivors and opportunity to remember loved-ones lost. It's a day that shouldn't be missed and won't be forgotten.
