Client: American Cancer Society (ACS)
Event: Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
Project: Branded Displays that elevated both the function and the Visual Storytelling of the event
Overview
The American Cancer Society (ACS) hosts Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events nationwide to unite communities, honor survivors, and raise funds for life-saving programs and research. For the Utah chapter, Strike Visuals has proudly served as a long-term partner, providing professional branded display solutions that amplify awareness and deliver a polished, meaningful event experience.
This year, Strike Visuals once again sponsored the event’s entire suite of marketing displays, helping ACS elevate its message, guide attendees, and create photo-worthy moments that amplified reach both on-site and online.
The Challenge
Making Strides events bring in many participants—survivors, supporters, families, sponsors, and volunteers. With so many attendees and moving parts, ACS needed:
- Clear, effective wayfinding signage
- High-visibility displays that reinforce the mission
- Sponsor recognition that stands out
- Engaging photo opportunities to encourage social sharing
- A cohesive branded environment that represents the importance of the cause
ACS also needed a partner who could deliver this efficiently, professionally, and with a full understanding of their event goals—something Strike Visuals has reliably provided year after year.
Our Solution
Strike Visuals sponsored and produced a complete set of branded displays that elevated both the function and visual storytelling of the event:
A-Frame Stand Signs
Placed throughout the event grounds to guide participants to key areas, sponsor booths, and activity stations. These signs ensured a smooth, organized flow and enhanced the attendee experience.
Vinyl Banners for Start & Finish Lines
Large, durable banners clearly marked the iconic start and finish areas—two of the most photographed moments of the walk. Additional vinyl banners were displayed across the venue to highlight sponsors, reinforce ACS branding, and keep the mission front and center.
Giant Inflatable Pink Chair
A crowd favorite and a standout moment for attendees. This oversized pink inflatable provided an eye-catching centerpiece that drove user-generated content, encouraging participants to take photos, share them online, and expand the event’s reach across social platforms.
Pop-Up Wall Photo Backdrop
Designed specifically for photo opportunities, this branded pop-up wall gave attendees a professional and fun backdrop to capture memories. This not only enhanced the event experience but also helped ACS generate more tagged posts, shares, and online visibility.
The Results
Enhanced Attendee Navigation
Wayfinding signs ensured attendees always knew where to go—reducing confusion and improving participation at various vendor and activity areas.
Stronger Mission Awareness
Event branding and messaging were clear, consistent, and highly visible throughout the venue.
Increased Social Media Engagement
The inflatable chair and branded photo backdrop created hundreds of organic social media posts, boosting ACS’s visibility and encouraging supporters to share their experience.
Elevated Sponsor Recognition
Highlighted sponsor banners helped ACS showcase the organizations that make their mission possible, strengthening partnerships for future events.
A Cohesive, Professional Event Atmosphere
The combined display elements created a unified look that empowered ACS to present a polished, powerful presence to attendees and the community.
