Why You Should Join Primax Pink Warriors We envision a future where our children no longer live with the threat of breast cancer and where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive this disease. By supporting the Primax Pink Warriors, you help ensure the American Cancer Society can continue fighting for that same vision. Together, we can help fund the future of breast cancer research and programs for our loved ones today and for the next generation. Investing in groundbreaking breast cancer research to better understand, prevent, find, and treat the disease. Providing free rides to treatment, free places to stay near hospitals, a live 24/7 cancer helpline, and so much more. Helping people reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it may be easier to treat. Fighting breast cancer is hard. It’s scary. Sometimes it takes away people we love. Breast cancer threatens your femininity and scares your family. This is why the Primax Pink Warriors are so passionate about raising money to fund breast cancer research and programs. We want to help the American Cancer Society find a cure, so our future generations won’t hear the words “you have breast cancer.” Until then we walk, we fundraise, we educate, we love on our survivors, and we continue to grow our local team, right here in Charlotte.   Follow this link to register: Making Strides of Greater Charlotte: Primax Pink Warriors |
