Thanks to the passion of walkers, determination of fundraisers, and courage of survivors, a Making Strides walk is an event like no other. As the largest network of breast cancer events in the nation, the non-competitive 5-mile walks raise money and awareness to help move us closer to a world free from breast cancer. Making Strides events have no registration fee, or a minimum amount to raise. Participants maximize their impact by raising money online or collecting donations to turn in at the event. It’s an amazing opportunity to celebrate breast cancer survivors and pay tribute to loved ones lost.
Last year, more than one million Making Strides walkers helped raise more than $60 million to support the American Cancer Society in the fight against breast cancer. With your help, this year can be even more successful!
