The American Cancer Society has been saving lives for 100 years. Today, we’re helping save more than 400 lives a day that would have otherwise been lost to cancer. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the largest network of breast cancer fundraising and awareness events in the nation, uniting nearly 300 communities to finish the fight. Our five- mile walk is a powerful and inspiring opportunity to unite as a community to honor breast cancer survivors, raise awareness about steps we can take to reduce the risk of getting breast cancer, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society lead the fight against this disease.
Your generous donations, will help us find breast cancer’s causes and cures, provide free information and services to those fighting the disease, and ensure access to mammograms for women who need them.
The research done at the American Cancer Society, such as Cancer Prevention Study-3, in addition to the studies done by the researchers we fund may help us find answers and Finish the Fight on breast cancer. The American Cancer Society is proud of the 47 researchers that we supported before they went on to win the Nobel Prize, considered the highest accolade any scientist can receive. This work is being done because of your generous donations!
Thank yousoooooo very much to those who have already made a donation to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign! As we will not rest until we have a world without cancer, we need your continued support to help us celebrate more birthdays!!
