Making Strides Against Breast Cancer®

Join the movement to end breast cancer as we know it

At the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events, every step counts. Your efforts become tangible support for research, patient services, and advocacy. Thanks in large part to decades of work by the American Cancer Society, a breast cancer diagnosis does not come without hope, and the breast cancer journey is not one that is traveled alone.

There are many ways to get involved! The first step is to sign up as a team leader, a participant, or you can register as a survivor to join the special survivor activities at the walk. If you want to do more, you can volunteer on event day, or join a committee to help enhance the event experience. We even have leadership volunteer opportunities for executives looking to leverage their personal and professional connections to help end breast cancer as we know it, for everyone.
