Making Strides Is Noncompetitive

The average distance of the walk is five miles, depending upon your location. Individuals of all ages are welcome to participate. Take as long as you need to finish, or walk as far as you are able. The event will be held rain or shine. Participants in wheelchairs should contact their local American Cancer Society office before the event.

Everyone Can Participate

The success of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer depends on you! Individuals who walk and raise pledges are the key to finding a cure for breast cancer. Organizations or businesses can sponsor their own team of walkers. Volunteers are needed to help at the event with registration, traffic, information and many other important functions.

Team Up to Save Lives

Nothing can describe the camaraderie of walking with those who share a passion for curing breast cancer. Get your friends involved and recruit a group to walk with you. It's important to arrange to meet your fellow team members before registration.

Registration Is Simple

There is no pre-registration or registration fee for the event. Register on the morning of the event and bring your donations with you. Contact your local American Cancer Society office for a walk paper or raise money online. It's easy.

Set Your Own Fund-Raising Goal

Participants are not required to raise a minimum amount and pledges are made for your participation rather than per mile. Obtain donations of $10, $25, $50 or $100. Money may be turned in at registration. If you haven't finished collecting by the day of the event, copy the pledge sheet and mail remaining pledges in later. If you are unable to attend, you may still collect and mail in pledges in support of Making Strides.
