Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is more than just the name of an event: it represents the progress we are making together to defeat this disease. Funds raised through this event support the American Cancer Society’s efforts to save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or finding it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking research; and by fighting back by encouraging lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.

What can one person do? Buying a blessing basket and encouraging your friends to follow in your philanthropic foot steps goes further toward ending the cycle of poverty than you might imagine. As a certified nonprofit organization we have only ONE mission: lift the artisans we serve out of poverty. We pay our artisans a Prosperity Wage, which is significantly beyond fair trade, in fact more than anyone else in the world. Our mission is achieved when the artisan uses their Prosperity Wages to start businesses and graduate from our program into a life of substainable financial independence.

Missouri's Civil War Trails is a tourism and fulfillment program that highlights Civil War sites that exist in abundance across the state. The Gray Ghosts Trail, covering central and western Missouri, is inspired Richard S. Brownlee's classic study of the Civil War in Missouri: "Gray Ghosts of the Confederacy, Guerrilla Warfare in the West, 1861-1865." The U.S. Grant Trail, in eastern Missouri, focuses on places in the state that defined the early Civil War career of the future President and Lieutenant General. As seen along both trails, Missouri has a rich Civil War history. The most Northern state where slavery was permitted by law, it was inevitable that War in Missouri would be especially brutal. And so it was. Missouri witnessed the greatest number of battles and engagements - more than 1,000 - of any place except Virginia and Tennessee.
MCWHF sponsors several programs throughout Missouri. Our trails program which at this time consists of The Gray Ghost Trail and the U.S. Grant Trail. We also run an affiliate program that is an exciting and innovative approach to the preservation of Civil War Battlefield Sites in the state of Missouri, called American Institute of Battlefield Archaeology.
