Making Strides of Central Virginia Presented by Apex Systems and ASGN Incorporated

Virginia Physicians for Women (VPFW)

Welcome to our VPFW Team Page. Virginia Physicians for Women has formed a Making Strides team because breast health is an important part of women's health, and we are strong believers that early detection is critical in the fight against breast cancer. On top of offering screening mammograms at 4 offices in Central Virginia, walking ,raising money, and sponsoring the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on Oct. 19 is the best way we can help. 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 hold fundraisers in lead-up to the big event. We promote those on social media, through Facebook and Instagram, 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.

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.
