Our team's involvement in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign is fueled by a profound dedication to raising awareness and funds for this vital cause. Led by Griselle Marino, who serves as the Communications and Media Director of the Miami Dade County Office of Community Advocacy, and also volunteers as the Director of Advocacy and External Affairs for the Global Innovative Foundation, a nonprofit organization recognized as a 501(c)(3). Griselle's motivation is deeply personal; her own mother is a remarkable 40-year survivor of breast cancer. Her mother's triumph over the disease, thanks to early detection, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of awareness and proactive healthcare. Griselle firmly believes that every woman deserves the same opportunity for early detection and successful treatment. Having been involved in the Making Strides campaign since 2007 and dedicating over 35 years to working with the American Cancer Society, Griselle brings a wealth of experience and passion to our team's efforts. Her unwavering commitment has inspired us all to join forces with the Global Innovative Foundation this year, combining our advocacy efforts to make an even greater impact. We invite our community to join us on October 25th at the Loan Depot Center as we walk together, united in our mission to support breast cancer awareness, research, and support services.

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.

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.
