Making Strides of Albany

JoAnn's Jewels

Welcome to our Team Page. We’ve come together because this cause is deeply meaningful to us. In memory of my mom, JoAnn Jakiela, who bravely fought metastasized breast cancer and ended her battle in 2017, we are walking and raising funds in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. This is our way of honoring her and supporting others facing this battle.

Every member of our team has a personal reason for participating, but we are united in our determination to help save lives from breast cancer. The money we raise supports critical areas like innovative research, providing free information for those affected by the disease, and offering rides and accommodations for patients who must travel for treatment. In short, our efforts are making a real difference.

We invite you to donate to our team and help us continue this vital work. Thanks to the generous contributions of supportive friends and family, we have raised over $22,000 since 2018. Your support means so much to us and to everyone affected by breast cancer.

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.

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.
