ACC-SoCal’s Pro Bono Committee and Wellbeing Committee are coming together to make a difference, and we want YOU on our team!

Join us for the 2025 More Than Pink Walk, a powerful event supporting breast cancer research, advocacy, and patient care. This is a community event, so please bring your friends and family and join Team ACC-SoCal for a three-mile walk.  Together we will walk for survivors, for those we've lost, and for a future without breast cancer. Let’s show the world what it means to be More Than Pink!

We’d be honored to have you with us. Lace up your sneakers, grab your pink accessories, and let’s walk with purpose! 

There’s no registration fee to join the walk, and while fundraising is optional, every dollar raised helps advance Komen’s mission to end breast cancer through research, advocacy, and patient support.
