We’re thrilled to announce that the winners of the 2025 Spirit of Strides Awards will be revealed February 9-13, 2026.
These prestigious awards honor individuals and teams who exemplify the passion, leadership, and commitment that define the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer movement. Their dedication has helped build a powerful, community-driven effort that has raised billions of dollars to support lifesaving breast cancer research, advocacy, and patient support through the American Cancer Society.
Join us for daily award announcements on the Making Strides social channels, with full announcements available on ACSResources.org/strides (right here!). Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary Striders who continue to lead the way as we work to end breast cancer as we know it, for everyone.
