Strides RewardsBelieve, Hope, Survive (Booz | Allen | Hamilton)
Welcome to our Team Page. As the pandemic continues -- the need to fight the scourge of cancer is even more critical. So many people continue to suffer emotionally, financially, and physically. We ask that you join us in raising money for those battling this disease and for the continued support that the American Cancer Society provides to our first responders and to further cancer research and enable preventative screening and early detection. This team is led by a team of strong women who are current and former Booz Allen employees, each of us has battled breast cancer or has a close loved one impacted by the disease. We’ve participated in this fund drive for the past 7 years, always with the strong financial support and backing of Booz Allen as well as individual contributions from our colleagues and friends. Help us make a difference for others touched by this horrific disease which affects one in eight women. The American Cancer Society utilizes the funds for innovative research as well as support to those affected which includes ensuring patients have access to treatment through free rides to / from their appointments as well as a place to stay for those who must seek treatment far from their homes and of course educational information to breast cancer patients and their families as they come to terms with the disease. In short, the money raised is used to help save lives and will be used in the DMV area. Please join us. Donate today and walk with us on Saturday, October 26, 2024.

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