Please join the largest one day breast cancer walk in the nation as a volunteer during walk weekend! Each year over 600 volunteers help the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides walk deliver a fun and safe day for the 40,000 participants in Boston that raises over $3 million dollars a year.

On Saturday, October 4 we are looking for 200 volunteers to help us prepare snack bags for our walkers, as well as help us set up for the following days event. This takes place from 3:00-6pm at the Hatch Shell in Boston.

On Sunday, October 5 we need another 400 volunteers to help us in varying roles at the event including finish line cheerers, route monitors, clean up and set up crews, water stops, T greeters, and snack distribution. These volunteer roles begin between 7am and 9am and run until approximately 1:30pm.

Join the fight against breast cancer by making a difference and volunteering for Making Strides!
