Making Strides of Santa Monica Presented by O Positiv Health

Team Bek

I am a 21.5 year Inflammatory Breast Cancer survivor—not, as one doctor put it, garden variety breast cancer. At diagnosis IBS had a 30% survival rate at 3 years. I am still here thanks to great docs, great drugs, great family, great friends … and the American Cancer Society. ACS funds research, supports cancer patients and their families, and connects cancer patients to volunteers who provide rides, share their experiences, help women cancer patients feel beautiful again with their Look Good, Feel Better program, amid other important work to help fight and beat cancer.

In the 21 years since I was diagnosed, a lot has changed in the cancer fight. There is new and better chemotherapy, easier protocols, new immunotherapies—and longer survival rates. BUT, cancer is still winning! That is just not acceptable!

So, won’t you help me and Team Bek help ACS continue the fight?
1. Join Team Bek at the Oct 27 Santa Monica Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk (an easy 5k)! Let’s show the entire South Bay our commitment to ending Breast Cancer!

2. Donate to to me and Team Bek!
3. Reach out to friends and family and ask them to join and donate!

All Tean Bek Members who raise $200 get a Team Bek Button. Raise $500 and you get a Team Bek T-Shirt! How can you resist!

Together we can actually beat this thing!

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.

$71M+

As of January 2022, we have invested $71 M for potentially lifesaving breast cancer specific research grants.

250K

We have received over 250,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2021

229K+

Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.

Making Strides Rewards

The ACS Rewards program is our way of thanking you for your creativity and passion! Earn points for every dollar raised and you can redeem those points for Making Strides products and swag.

Any donation amount helps save lives from 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.

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.

Join us. Donate today. Or walk with us.
