Making Strides of Long Island Presented by Teachers Federal Credit Union

Team Elayne's 70th Birthday

In celebration of Elayne Christian Zervas's 70th birthday and to tribute 40 years since she's passed, we are walking at Jones Beach on October 20th.  In fact we'e put together a team.  You can join our team and walk with us, or just contribute.  

October is always a time for me, to remember my Mom.  As years have gone on, it's also become a time to support all are going through difficult times or that have also lost someone.  So many of our friends and family, like my Mom Elayne, lost their lives way too young. That's always made my life difficult.  But it's also inspired me to take care of myself and to do things that make me happy.  Whatever your journey is, I hope that mine will inspire you to take care of yourself and the ones you love, and to always strive to get the most out of life for yourself, and to tribute those that never got the chance to do so.

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.

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.
