Strides RewardsOrganization of NYSUT Staff Retirees (ONSR)
Why We are Making Strides Welcome to our Team Page! We thank all who support us in this effort. In 2002 NYSUT became a statewide sponsor of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walks. Since that time, the combined effort of NYSUT staff, members and retirees have raised over $13,000,000. Almost everyone has been touched by breast cancer in some way. Although great progress has been made in the fight to defeat this disease, there is still work to be done. In the last 20 years, the number of deaths from breast cancer has declined significantly. But thousands of women and men will still be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. That's why we continue to participate by walking and/or donating to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. As one ONSR donor said, "I can't do the walk anymore, so I do what I can by donating." That speaks for many of us.

Today 1 of every 2 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer reaches out to the American Cancer Society for help and support. The donations our team raises will enable investment in groundbreaking breast cancer research, provide free information and services for those diagnosed with the disease including accomodations at a Hope Lodge if treatment away from home is required. Your donations also provide access to mammograms for women who cannot afford them. Many, including some of our members, have benefitted from the free lodging at a Hope Lodge while being treated away from home.
Why We Support the American Cancer Society
Saving lives of those with breast cancer starts one team, one walker, and one dollar at a time. We know that our support will ensure that if they need someone to talk to anytime of the day or night, help will be there. If your friend is losing her hair from chemo, your mother needs a ride to treatment, or a loved one needs a place to stay when treatment is far from home, they will be there to help.
Join us and together we'll take another step toward a world without breast cancer.
Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.
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.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against breast cancer.

Strides RewardsThis 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.
