Making Strides For Breast Cancer Nationwide Virtual Kickoff: August 11 (9am)

Although in 2020 we won't convene crowds of walkers for Making Strides, the American Cancer Society will mobilize this movement in several new ways that will still engage our communities and raise critical revenue to sustain research and programming. This year ACS is making it easier for anyone, anywhere to make an impact in the fight against breast cancer. Learn more by tuning into the nationwide virtual kickoff at 9:00am on Tuesday, August 11. Register for it now.

We envision a future where our daughters – our children – will no longer live with the threat of breast cancer. Unfortunately, their future is at risk. We can't and won't allow progress to be put on hold because of COVID-19. At risk are more and better treatments and discoveries that will improve and save lives.
