Making Strides Against Breast Cancer SWFL Announces Kick-Off Event

The American Cancer Society announces the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk Kick-Off Event scheduled Wednesday, August 31 at Dave & Busters in Fort Myers. Meet survivors, caregivers, and other supporters for fun with a purpose as we “pink glam” apparel, meet our Real Men Wear Pink and more. We will jump start our plans to paint Southwest Florida pink in the spirit of saving lives!

The American Cancer Society invites you to make a team, celebrate at Kick-Off and join us for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer SWFL (MSABC SWFL) Walk Event Saturday, October 8 at 10 am along the beautiful walking trails of North Collier Regional Park, 15000 Livingston Road, Naples. 

In 2021, the Southwest Florida event raised $151,931 in the quest for a cure. Chaired once again by Robin Rosario and Merry Coffman of Pure Florida, this year’s event has set a goal to go even further. We currently have eighteen teams registered for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Southwest Florida. Pure Florida is encouraging early fundraising by offering a FREE sightseeing cruise experience ticket to anyone who registers early and raises $50 for MSABC SWFL by September 15. The Sightseeing Cruise is aboard M/V Double Sunshine docked at historic Tin City in Naples and offers a relaxing and fun 90-minutes on the water. 

MSABC is the largest network of breast cancer events in the USA. We make strides, but it is not just about the walk. It is a movement! MSABC raises money to fund breast cancer research and provide patient support services such as free rides to cancer treatments, free lodging close to treatment centers, and a 24/7 cancer helpline for patients in need.

When you support the MSABC movement, you help to fund innovative breast cancer research and programs for our loved ones today and for the next generation. You help to focus our vision of a world where one day our children will no longer live with the threat of breast cancer.

All cancer survivors who register in June will receive a free Survivor T-shirt. Sign up at Making Strides of Southwest Florida (acsevents.org), recruit your family and friends, and let’s make strides to fight back against this deadly disease!
