Spark hope. Inspire courage. Create change.

Join us on December 8, 2024, at Nathan Benderson Park for The Lake Club’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk & Brunch. This inspiring event goes beyond just a walk; it’s a powerful movement to honor survivors, support those currently battling breast cancer, and remember loved ones lost. The Making Strides movement builds a supportive community for courageous survivors, metastatic breast cancer thrivers, caregivers, and families. 

By supporting our Making Strides event this fall, you help the American Cancer Society:

Invest in groundbreaking breast cancer research to better understand, prevent, detect, and treat the disease.

Provide essential services such as free rides to cancer treatments, a home away from home near hospitals, a 24/7 cancer helpline, and much more.

Assist in reducing breast cancer risk and improving early detection when treatment is most effective.

Last year, our community raised nearly $18,000, making us the third most successful team in Sarasota/Manatee. This year, we’re aiming even higher and need your support to reach our goal.

Be part of our team and help us make a significant impact. Sign up today to participate in a variety of activities, including volunteer opportunities, our inaugural TLC card tournament, the optional breast cancer walk, and a post-walk brunch. You can also support our cause through purchasing merchandise, securing sponsorships, and making donations. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.
