UAW women fight breast cancer

The UAW is proud to help fight breast cancer by being part of the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Cancer National Team Program.

We are thrilled about the difference that UAW members across the country are making to help eliminate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease.

The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk unites communities to celebrate people who have battled breast cancer, educate people about ways to reduce their risk, and empower communities to join the fight. Every dollar you raise and every step you take will save lives by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back against breast cancer.

Since 1993, nearly 7 million walkers have raised more than $400 million to help fight breast cancer through participating in the noncompetitive, 3- to 5-mile events. In 2010 alone, nearly 800,000 walkers across the country collected more than $60 million to save lives from breast cancer.
