Tom Raffio and his organization understand the impact of supporting Making Strides and are truly leading by example,” said Lizzy Givan, Executive Director (New England) at the American Cancer Society.

“I applaud Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of NH for their ambitious goal of raising $1 million this year,” said Tom Raffio, President & CEO of Northeast Delta Dental. “Together we can accelerate research efforts to eliminate the threat of breast cancer as well as support survivors, thrivers, and their loved ones.”
