Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
Goes to the New Jersey Expo Center in Edison, New Jersey
Edison, New Jersey – The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Corporate Kick Off Breakfast will take place on Thursday, August 9, 2012, at the New Jersey Convention & Expo Center in Edison, New Jersey; the exact same location that has become the new site for the Central New Jersey 5K walk, one of the many hundreds MSABC’s that takes place every October all over the country .
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, now celebrating its 20th year, raises close to $400K for breast cancer research, support and programs for women diagnosed with breast cancer in Middlesex and Mercer Counties.
Programs funded by this event are such as the Look Good Feel Better where women diagnosed with cancer learn how to use make up that will help with the skin discoloration during treatment and even different ways to wear scarves and hats to make them look fabulous.
Other programs like the Free Wig program that allows any Central New Jersey resident that is diagnosed with breast cancer to obtain a free wig fitting and wig at the American Cancer Society Office.
1 in 2 women diagnosed with breast cancer turn to the American Cancer Society for support during their battle with breast cancer. That’s 50% of all women diagnosed with this disease.
This FREE Breakfast is the official kick off to the Fundraising Season for Making Strides. Over 300 Team leaders and corporate partners get together to rally and pledge their commitment to the cause on this day. Team leaders then gather teams of their co-workers families and friends and raise funds by doing cool things like bake sales, parties or simply emailing everyone they know and asking them to make an online donation!
