Making Strides of Newark

Robyn's Roost- Omega Psi Omega

Join us on October 16th as we continue the fight against breast cancer! 

Finding a cure is a serious matter to the women of Omega Psi Omega. For more than a decade, we have participated in the “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” initiative to support those suffering from and to eradicate this terrible disease. We count several cancer thrivers among us, but in 2019, when our beloved chartering President Robyn M. Dawson-Bryant lost her battle with breast cancer, the fight became more personal.

While researchers work to find a cure, we will continue our efforts in remembrance of Robyn and the millions of other women who deserve a chance to live and thrive. We ask you to donate whatever you can to help Team Robyn’s Roost reach our fundraising goal of $5,000. Give now through October 31 using the link below.  You can also join our team for the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event on Sunday, October 16th. We would love for you to walk with us in solidarity.  To learn more about Omega Psi Omega, please visit out website at www.OmegaPsiOmega.org. 

Thank you for your support!

How Fundraising Impacts Your Community

Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.

As of January 2022, we have invested $71 M for potentially lifesaving breast cancer specific research grants.

We have received over 250,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2021

Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.

Our Sponsors

Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against breast cancer.

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.

Join us. Donate today. Or walk with us.
