Strides RewardsPink Posse
In 2018, the Pink Posse walked our first walk as a team of four while I was going thru radiation therapy. My men accompanied me to my surgery decked out in pink and since were dubbed the “Pink Posse”. Since 2022, we have grown the team and I am proud to say that last year our team raised the most money in NH, over $16,000! And we expect to grow that number this year on October 27th when we take to the streets in Concord, NH. So, if you’re keeping up with the math, this year marks my 6-year cancer free anniversary! And thanks to the advances made by the American Cancer Society, my cancer was detected early by a mammogram. No self-exam would have found it as it was along my chest wall. Your donations not only fund research for advances in detection and treatment but also allows the ACS to be there for those battling breast cancer in every way imaginable, with a hotline, web resources and rides to treatment just to name a few. What a cancer diagnosis doesn’t prepare you for is how many amazing people you will meet on your journey. From healthcare providers, to fellow survivors to those who are profoundly passionate about making a difference in the war on cancer. So many incredible people! It also doesn’t prepare you for the strength surviving cancer gives you to handle any of the other curveball’s life may throw at you. I hope you will consider donating to this worthy cause. No amount is too small. I thank you in advance for your continued support and ask that you remind all the special women in your lives to perform self-checks ad get their annual mammograms. Early detection saves lives…I’m the proof. Warm Regards, Diane

Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

Location: Concord, NH
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.
