Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Myrtle Beach Unites Community to End Breast Cancer As We Know It

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Myrtle Beach Unites Community to End Breast Cancer As We Know It

Myrtle Beach, September, 2025 – For more than 30 years, the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer has united communities in the nation’s largest movement to end breast cancer as we know it, for everyone. This year, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Myrtle Beach will take place on October 11th at Crown Reef Beach Resort and Waterpark, providing a supportive community for breast cancer survivors and metastatic breast cancer thrivers, caregivers, supporters, and families alike.

 

Since 1993, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events in communities across the country have raised approximately $1 billion to support breast cancer research, patient programs, and direct services.

“Making Strides has grown into the nation’s largest and most impactful breast cancer movement over the past three decades,” said Chinel Boateng, Sr. Development Manager for the American Cancer Society, Inc.  “Through Making Strides, we are funding critical research and life-saving programs that will ensure a brighter future for everyone who is impacted by breast cancer.”

Making Strides Against Cancer was founded in 1984 by Margery Gould Rath, a breast cancer survivor in Massachusetts, as a “move-along-a-thon” to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. The event officially became known as the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer in 1993 and has since inspired millions of people to participate in events in communities across the country. Rath remained a passionate volunteer until her passing in 2001.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Myrtle Beach raised nearly $40,000 for the American Cancer Society’s mission in 2023 and aims to raise $50,000 this year.
