Who We Are
Welcome to Jersey Shore Breast Cancer Walk, a dedicated organization committed to making a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Our annual walks unite the community, raising essential awareness and funds to support research, early detection, and treatment for those affected by this disease.
Founded on the belief that together we can make a significant impact, we bring together survivors, patients, families, and supporters from all walks of life. Our events not only promote physical health but also create a supportive and empowering environment where stories are shared, hope is renewed, and lives are transformed.
At Jersey Shore Breast Cancer Walk, we go beyond organizing walks. We are dedicated to education, providing resources, and fostering a network of support for anyone touched by breast cancer. We collaborate with and support various organizations that share our mission, amplifying our collective efforts to end breast cancer.
