I treasure the opportunity to continue to raise the bar in Concord. This extraordinary event is recognized by the American Cancer Society as the #1 per capita Making Strides event in the United States, which truly is a testament to the generosity of our community! I have been an American Cancer Society volunteer for 24 years. As a longtime volunteer and three-year breast cancer survivor - yes, the great irony - I believe zealously in the American Cancer Society s mission to save lives, celebrate lives and to lead the fight for a world without cancer. Much more than a five-mile walk, Making Strides is an event that kindles a community spirit as strong and as boundless as the people it honors. Please consider supporting this event as a sponsor. Undoubtedly you or someone in your organization has been exposed to the dreaded impact of a cancer diagnosis. Whether to support a colleague facing cancer, to honor someone lost to this disease or to showcase your dedication to the American Cancer Society, your support will make an impact. Funds raised support American Cancer Society breast cancer research and programs and services to help people with all cancers, to live through and beyond cancer. We need your help. As you look through these corporate sponsor opportunities, please note that all of the photos have been taken at our Concord NH event- you will see the sincere faces of your neighbors and friends. Please check out the list of our sponsors that make Making Strides a tradition and consider adding your company s name to this impressive list of generous businesses.

Thanks to improvements in treatment and early detection, more and more women are surviving the disease. While progress has clearly been made, breast cancer is still the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the US, and the second leading cause of cancer death in women. The Society s research program has played a role in many of the advances that save lives from breast cancer today, and is relentlessly pursuing the answers that will save even more lives in the future.
