Making Strides of Greater Pittsburgh

Stand Tall for Aesthetic Flat Closure - Pittsburgh

Stand Tall AFC is a campaign to de-stigmatize the loss of one or both breasts to cancer treatment and to normalize going flat, technically known as Aesthetic Flat Closure (AFC), after mastectomy. AFC is reconstruction of the chest wall contour. This is an option that is too often withheld from people and at times, even denied. People facing mastectomy deserve full disclosure of all their reconstructive options, including AFC, and to have their informed consent respected.

Breast cancer awareness month brings thousands of people together. This Stand Tall team of flat survivors and supporters will utilize this American Cancer Society Making Strides event for visibility to promote going flat as a healthy choice and to inspire body positivity! If you wish to donate to the Stand Tall AFC Campaign, please go to https://notputtingonashirt.org/standtallafc/#donate and scroll to the bottom of the page! Or, donate to the ACS Making Strides Against Breast Cancer to fund the future of breast cancer research, patient support, and advocacy.

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.

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.
