Why We are Participating in Making Strides

Why is Owens & Minor Partnering with Making Strides?

As part of our company purpose, Life Takes Care, Owens & Minor supports various organizations that help build healthier communities where our teammates and customers live and work. It is our honor to walk with the American Cancer Society Making Strides in its endeavor to eradicate breast cancer.

How Can Owens & Minor Teammates Help Fight Breast Cancer?

By walking and raising money in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event! We all have varying reasons for participating, but we share a determination to help save lives.

Where Does the Money Go?

To fund innovative research, provide information, arrange rides to treatments and a home-away-from-home for people who must seek treatment out of town. In short, our money helps save lives. Consider donating to our team and helping advance the cause.

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.
