The Three Steps to Making Strides
What can you expect when you join Making Strides? From the day you sign up through October , you’ll be fueling the fight against breast cancer by fundraising.
1. Sign up
When you sign up for the movement you can choose to lead a team, join an existing team, or participate solo - the choice is yours.
2. Recruit friends and family
Whether you're on a team, leading a team, or even participating solo, get friends and family to join you - more people means more power to fight breast cancer.
3. Raise Money
Send emails and texts. Set up a Facebook fundraiser. There are lots of ways to raise money for Making Strides. We’ll even give you tips and tools to make it easier.
SUPPORTING Survivors, Thrivers, and Caregivers
The Making Strides movement raises lifesaving funds that support breast cancer patients, survivors, thrivers, and caregivers through every step of the journey. We’ve enhanced digital offerings available to anyone across the nation, including one-on-one breast cancer patient support services and the use of video chat to safely connect patients, caregivers, and family members with valuable services and resources through our website, in addition to a 24/7 helpline.

“I'm going to walk for me, because I'm a breast cancer survivor and you need to see my face. Everyone needs to see that this, too, is a thriver, a survivor. This is the face of breast cancer.”

“Yes we’re raising money for a great cause, but just to have that support system within your own community is really a good feeling.”
Shannon

“I don't just want a cure for myself. I want a cure for my daughters. I don't want them to have to go through what I went through. I hope for their generation that breast cancer is a thing of the past.”

“Making Strides is amazing… it’s just love. It's full of pink love.”

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.
