Onsite Activities & Engagement
🌸Tribute Garden: Honor a loved one affected by breast cancer with a personalized tribute. Dedicate yours in advance HERE.
🎗️Survivor Celebration: The Survivor/Thriver Tent is a special area. Survivors will enjoy some snacks, coffee, receive their Survivor Sash, and participate in safe activities---all while creating great memories in the tent. It is important to note that the American Cancer Society defines a survivor as anyone who has heard the words “you have cancer”, so if you are recently diagnosed, currently going through treatment, or are in remission, this tent is for you! Survivor and Thriver Shirts will not be available at the tent. Your shirt is mailed to your house after you register and choose your shirt size
Strides Store: Take a moment to visit our Strides Store to purchase new Strides swag, apparel, and merchandise.
🍏Food & Snacks: So many goodies to choose from! Capacity LLC will be there to serve us all!
We are fortunate to have many local supporters so make sure to visit their tents - whether it's taking a team picture on our Big Pink Chair (sponsored by ProCure Proton Therapy) or pinking yourself out.
