Over the past three decades, the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC) campaign has united communities, companies, and individuals and has grown into the nation’s largest and most impactful breast cancer movement.
These 3- to 5-mile noncompetitive walks provide a supportive community for courageous breast cancer survivors and people living with metastatic breast cancer, caregivers, and families alike.

As a recognized leader in breast cancer research, the American Cancer Society knows that breast cancer patients and their families are counting on us to help save and improve lives each and every day. We are putting 100+ years of lifesaving experience to work through investments in breast cancer research, ensuring greater access to quality care, influencing public policy, and providing patient support. Thanks in large part to these decades of work, a breast cancer diagnosis does not come without hope, and the breast cancer journey is not one that is traveled alone.
More than $79 million are currently invested in breast cancer research grants (as of June 2023).
We respond to 300,000 requests for cancer information through our helpline and chat services, and more than 119 million visitors looked to our website for cancer information.
Through a secure mobile app, we connect 2,900 women facing breast cancer with trained breast cancer survivors to support them during their journey – anywhere in the country.
