The event is Sunday October 19th from 11am-3pm at Castleton University!

Over the past three decades, the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC) fundraising walk has united communities, companies, and individuals and has grown into the nation’s largest and most impactful breast cancer movement.

These 3- to 5-mile noncompetitive walks provide a supportive community for courageous breast cancer survivors and people living with metastatic breast cancer, caregivers, and families alike.

2025 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Vermont: SPONSOR HIGHLIGHT

ALLEN POOLS & SPAS, INTRODUCING, ED ALLEN, CEO 

💕 Ed’s Story

Our commitment is personal. In 2015, Ed Allen lost his sister to breast cancer. His story reminds us that almost everyone has been touched by this disease—and together, we can make a difference.  His Team, the PINK HOT TUBBERS, is the #1 fundraising team of the event.

For the past decade, under Ed’s vision, Allen Pools & Spas annual raffle has brought hope, community, and generosity together. Since it began, we’ve raised an incredible $98,799.90 to fuel the American Cancer Society’s mission, which has been donated toward the MSABC of Southern Vermont venue.  He holds an annual SPAS FOR CAUSE RAFFLE--for the chance to win a Hot Tub, and dozens of donated prizes from local businesses.  Additionally, he holds an annual PINK MIXER event, to give his thanks and gratitude to his employees, vendors and local supporters.

💖 Why It Matters

Every ticket helps fund:

• Groundbreaking breast cancer research
• Free support programs for patients & families
• Advocacy to ensure access to care

The American Cancer Society leads the way to end breast cancer as we know it, for everyone. We have led the progress that has delivered a 42% decline in the death rate from breast cancer since 1989, saving nearly 500,000 lives. Thanks in large part to decades of work, a breast cancer diagnosis does not come without hope, and the breast cancer journey is not one that is traveled alone.

WE ARE THE FUTURE
