One of the most significant programs put on by the
American Cancer Society is its Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer program, a three-to-five mile charity
walk that honors breast cancer survivors and raises
awareness. The proceeds from Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer walks go toward advanced
breast cancer research as well as mammograms for
women in need of this helpful screening procedure.
Since the program's inception, Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer has brought close to 300 communities
together to combat breast cancer, and thousands of
people have walked to support survivors. Several
corporate sponsors also back these walks, enhancing
fundraising efforts.
