Honorees have gone above and beyond.
The Spirit of Strides Awards seek to honor and recognize all those who have gone above and beyond to help the American Cancer Society’s vision to end cancer as we know it for everyone through the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer movement.
From large-scale traditional walks to unique local experiences and celebrations, the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer has united communities, companies, and individuals across the country in our work to end breast cancer for three decades – and we have no intention of ever slowing down.
Award winners have been named based on an application process for the Spirit of Strides Awards, and others were determined by data compiled in ACS reporting systems. To learn more about the criteria for each of these awards review the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Nationwide Awards Program Flyer.
