Why we keep showing up.

Making Moves Against Breast Cancer brings our everyday work and our charitable efforts together. It gives the people who choose us a way to be part of something that reaches beyond their own move.

We are grateful to everyone who has contributed, joined our fundraising efforts, or helped raise awareness. The willingness of local people and businesses to get involved is what makes this work possible.

Cirque de Hope • Sarasota, 2026

The 2026 Cirque de Hope gala in Sarasota brought local supporters together for the American Cancer Society. Blake is especially thankful to the business owners whose support helped make the evening a success. Their generosity is a reminder of how much we can accomplish when people make time for a cause they care about.
