Strides RewardsMargot's Angels
Welcome to the inspired team of Margot's Angels, a team that has dedicated itself to making a profound impact in the battle against breast cancer. Our story is one of strength, legacy, and unwavering determination, driven by the memory of two incredible women who showed us the true essence of resilience. In the heart of our family lies the matriarch, Yolanda Barth, whose journey with breast cancer spanned an astonishing 17 years. Her enduring strength and unwavering courage left an indelible mark on all who knew her. Yolanda's daughter, Margot Vazquez, faced her own battle when she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer at a mere 38 years old. Her fierce determination to fight was fueled by her love for her two young daughters. Despite her valiant efforts, Margot's journey came to a heartbreaking end at the age of 42. Determined to transform pain into purpose, Margot's Angels was born. Our mission is simple yet profound: to honor the legacies of Yolanda and Margot by ensuring that no other family has to endure the same fate. We believe in the power of research, awareness, and support to create a brighter future for those impacted by breast cancer. As we prepare for our 9th participation in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, we invite you to join us in our mission. Your support, no matter the size, will make a tangible difference. Every dollar you contribute will directly fund vital breast cancer research, offer essential support to patients navigating their journeys, and disseminate crucial knowledge to communities in need. By contributing to Margot's Angels, you're embracing a legacy of strength and compassion. Your name will be more than just a donation; it will be a symbol of hope for countless families facing the challenges of breast cancer. Thank you for considering our cause. With your help, we can create a world where the battles faced by Yolanda, Margot, and countless others inspire hope rather than sorrow. With heartfelt gratitude, Daniella Vazquez (Margot’s daughter) Margot’s Angels Team Lead

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.
