Making Strides Against Breast Cancer - American Cancer Society

Cancer touches more than just the people diagnosed. It has an impact on everyone around them. That's why the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk unites communities to celebrate people who have battled breast cancer, educate people about ways to reduce their risk, and empower communities to join the fight.

The American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is as unique and special as the stories that motivate our dedicated walkers, donors,and volunteers. Each step we take is personal. And each donation is helping to save lives. And each volunteer helps create a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays.

Since 1993, nearly 7 million walkers have raised more than $400 million to help fight breast cancer through participating in the noncompetitive, 3- to 5-mile events. In 2010 alone, nearly 800,000 walkers across the country collected more than $60 million to save lives from breast cancer.

We have plenty of opportunities for volunteers, including registration, event guides, route monitors, cheer stations, and much more!  Please contact chicago.strides@cancer.org to sign up today!
