TAMPA, Fla. - August is kick-off month for the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign.

August is the start of the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign.
Think of a fun and empowering name for your crew. Then you can recruit your team by inviting your friends, family and co-workers to join in.
The bigger your team, the more fundraising you can do. That means a bigger impact towards the cause to raise money for breast cancer research and programs for patients and caregivers.
Also set fundraising goals. Make a plan with your team and think about fun ways to reach those goals.
Even furry friends can participate in walks.
Some suggestions from the American Cancer Society about raising money include sending emails, spreading the word through social media or start a fundraiser.
