We are looking for passionate and dedicated volunteers to help lead and host our 23rd annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Great Lakes Bay. What is Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC)? Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Great Lakes Bay is a 2 mile noncompetitive walk that takes place on October 18, 2025 at Saginaw Valley State University. In 2024, our event welcomed over 1,800 people and 120+ breast cancer survivors and thrivers to celebrate and honor those in our community who have been impacted by breast cancer. Participants are asked to create teams with their friends, family, or coworkers and help us raise life-saving funds for the American Cancer Society. 100% of net proceeds from this event are invested in breast cancer research and patient support programs. Volunteers Needed: Day of Event Volunteer - Help volunteer the day of the event. Volunteers usually arrive between 6:30 - 8am and leave around noon depending on volunteer area and role. If your entire group (4+ people) would like to work a specific area, let us know. Walk Route Groups/Volunteers - Help us make our walk route fun! Groups can be placed along the walk route to cheer on our walkers and help make a fun atmosphere! Groups would need to be ready to go at 9:30am and would be on the route until 11am at the latest. Examples of past groups have been: Cheer / Dance Teams Youth Sport Teams Marching Bands Drum Lines Community Organizations For more information, please visit www.makingstrideswalk.org/greatlakesbaymi

Volunteers needed in Midland, Bay, Saginaw, Genesee, Shiawassee, Huron, Sanilac, and Tuscola Counties. The American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program provides free rides to treatment for cancer patients. Transportation barriers are the #1 reason for missed cancer appointments. For people with cancer who have no way of getting to treatment, our Road To Recovery(r) program is there to help. Driving patients to lifesaving treatment is one of the most meaningful volunteer experiences you can have with the American Cancer Society. We need volunteers so we can help more cancer patients. Unfortunately, we can’t provide rides to everyone who asks us to help them. You can change that. Volunteer to drive cancer patients Being a volunteer driver means you volunteer your time to drive people with cancer to treatment using your personal car. If you have a driver’s license, proof of insurance, pass a background check, and are between 18 and 84 years old, you’re already on the road to volunteering! We’ll provide all the training you need to help patients in your community get to treatment. To learn more or sign up, please visit cancer.org/drive
