Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Phoenix

08/01/2026

Let’s get fundraising this August! Anyone who raises $100 or more during August will receive these ✨ exclusive Making Strides bracelets. ✨

Need some ideas to get started? Here are a few of our best fundraising tips:

✅ Don't be afraid to ask. You never know who will say yes. Most people appreciate being invited to support a cause that's important to you.

✅ Be specific. Instead of asking for support in general, try something like: "Would you consider making a $25 donation in honor of my breast cancer journey?" or "I'm trying to raise $100 this week and am looking for 10 people to donate $10 in celebration of being 10 years cancer-free!"

✅ Ask everyone. Friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, social media followers. You might be surprised by who decides to support you.

✅ Lead the way. Make the first donation to your fundraising page and invite others to join you.
