More than 2,000 participants make strides!

Thank you to all that attended or donated to our first annual

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer!

Cold, windy, rainy weather didn't stop southwest Missourians from showing their dedication in the fight against breast cancer on Saturday. More than 2,000 participants came decked in pink to walk or run in the 5K at Jordan Valley Park. About 100 survivors came to the event, and we thank you for your courage and strength.

Making Strides raised more than $120,000 for breast cancer research! If you haven't donated yet, you still can. Just visit http://makingstrides.acsevents.org/swmo or send it right to the American Cancer Society office at Suite P, 3322 S. Campbell Ave., Springfield, MO 65807.
