| Oct 24 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk 2026 |
American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a nationwide movement dedicated to ending breast cancer as we know it—for everyone. It brings together survivors, caregivers, families, friends, and communities to walk in support of those affected by breast cancer and to raise funds for lifesaving work.
THREE STEPS TO MAKING STRIDES:
From the day you sign up through the walk day in October, you’ll be raising funds to support breast cancer research, American Cancer Society programs and services, and more to help end breast cancer as we know it, for everyone.
- SIGN UP — When you sign up for Making Strides you can choose to lead a team, join an existing team, or participate solo - the choice is yours.
- RECRUIT FRIENDS & FAMILY — Whether you're on a team, leading a team, or even participating solo, get friends and family to join you - more people means more power to end breast cancer.
- RAISE MONEY — Send emails and texts. Set up a Facebook fundraiser. There are lots of ways to raise money for Making Strides. We’ll even give you tips and tools to make it easier.
Through these events, participants help support:
- Breast cancer research
- Patient support programs and services
- Transportation and lodging for treatment
- Education and early detection awareness
- Advocacy for better access to care
More than just a walk, Making Strides is a celebration of hope, strength, remembrance, and community. It honors survivors, remembers loved ones, and inspires action toward a future without breast cancer. |
