Fundraising
When we walk, our sea of pink is powerful. No one can deny the impact it has on raising breast cancer awareness. But it's the money we raise that really makes the difference - those funds fuel the fight that will end breast cancer.
That's why we need everyone who participates in Making Strides to participate in fundraising. And it's a lot easier than you think! The first step? Set a fundraising goal. Then check out all the fundraising resources on this page to get started!
Innovative Research
Investing in groundbreaking breast cancer research to better understand, prevent, find, and treat the disease.
Supporting Patients
Providing free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, a live 24/7 cancer helpline, and so much more.
Education and Prevention
Helping people reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it may be easier to treat.
The FUNdraising App is an easy way to raise more money and save more lives from breast cancer. It allows you to register for your event and ask for donations via email, text, and more. You'll also be able to accept donations seamlessly with a variety of payment methods: credit/debit cards, checks, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Android Pay.
Here are tools to set attainable and achievable goals, come up with ideas and themes for fundraisers, then plan and implement them.
You work hard to raise money for Making Strides, and we want to make sure you know how much we appreciate it! Get the recognition you deserve by collecting fundraising badges, joining one of our elite fundraising clubs, or setting your sights on becoming one of our Top 20 fundraisers!

Would you like to lead the team or join the team?
This isn’t what I wanted.
Welcome to our Team Page. We've formed a team because this cause is important to us. We want to help. And walking and raising money in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event is the best way we can do that. We all have different reasons for participating but we share a determination to help save lives from breast cancer.
There are so many ways that the money our team raises helps. It’s helping fund innovative research. It's providing free information for people dealing with the disease. It’s providing rides to treatment and places to stay for people who have to seek treatment far from home. In short, our money is helping save lives. Consider donating to our team and helping advance the cause.
How We Support the American Cancer Society
Of course we walk in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. And we solicit donations from family, friends, and other supporters. But we also schedule fundraisers in lead-up to the big event. Bake-sales, car washes, and countless other types of events. And we promote those on social media, through Facebook and Twitter, by word of mouth, and through flyers at work and around the neighborhood. The success of fundraising events depends on two things - hard work and getting the word out. And we're out to do both. Keep an eye out for our fundraising events.
