American Cancer Society is Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

We live in a world where steps are especially important to us. We go so far as to count our steps with fancy digital watches and apps. When we take these steps one by one, they may seem insignificant. But when we put them all together, they become part of a movement; the movement of making strides!

The American Cancer Society (ACS), along with event chairs Merry Coffman and Robin Rosario, invite you to participate in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Southwest Florida, Saturday, October 2, 2021, at Paradise Coast Sports Complex, 3940 City Gate Blvd. S N, Naples.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer has been uniting communities in the fight against this deadly disease for more than two decades. This signature fundraiser of the American Cancer Society has funded breakthrough research, round the clock support for breast cancer patients, and access to lifesaving screenings. Funds raised through the Making Strides movement have allowed ACS to support breast cancer patients and their loved ones in times when they have needed it the most – even during the global pandemic. Currently, more than $76 million has been invested in breast cancer research grants. More than 134 million visitors have used our website, www.cancer.org for the latest information and facts about cancer, while ACS has responded to more than 1.4 million information requests through our helpline and chat services. Reach to Recovery, a support system of ACS, connects those facing a breast cancer diagnosis with trained breast cancer survivors to provide invaluable support throughout their journey all by way of a secure mobile app.

Join the movement! Let’s get started by putting on some pink for an evening of fun at our Event Kickoff, Wednesday, September 2, 2021, 5:30 to 7:30 PM at Pure Florida Naples at Tin City! Recruit your family and friends! Lead a team, join an existing team, or simply participate as an individual. Help us fund the future! Please join us to make strides for a world without breast cancer!
