Join thousands of Patch communities in the fight against breast cancer this fall with the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk! This 5 mile walk in Golden Gate Park is a non-competitive walk that can be done by all ages, and dogs too (on leash!). Now in our 15th year, the San Francisco Making Strides walk invites you to join us in saving lives and raising funds for breast cancer research, free patient programs, community education and advocacy.
With 1 in 8 women (and some men too) at risk of being diagnosed in a lifetime, chances are someone you know has faced this disease. Come out and walk in support of survivors and those for whom the cure did not come soon enough.
For more information about the walk and to receive an invitation to attend a kickoff event in August contact the American Cancer Society.
Additional volunteer opportunities with Making Strides:
- In office volunteers help with outreach and logistics tasks now through October.
- Volunteers needed for September 2nd Breast Cancer Awareness Day at the Oakland As
- Day of Event (10/20) Volunteers needed for registration, food and water booth, green team, route monitors, cheerleaders etc. Great for groups, individuals too! Sign up to volunteer at our website or email us to request a day of event volunteer sign up form.
