Take Flat to the Streets

Join the movement! Let’s create a society where Aesthetic Flat Closure is embraced without judgment or bias. Be and advocate for AFC by walking at one of the local cancer events below.

  • Locate a breast cancer event from the list below or find an event near you.
  • Register a team through the event host (e.g. Komen, American Cancer Society)
  • Invite others to join you in advocacy with this handy list for finding flatties.
  • Share your walk info with Stand Tall AFC to receive a Visibility Kit and & join Advocacy meetings.
  • Take Flat Visibility to the Streets, shirts on or shirts off!

If you build it, Flatties will come.

Find an event to add to this list? Already have a flat team registered? Send us an email and we’ll add it here!

FAQ’s

Q: Does everyone take their shirt off?

A: Nope! Breastless and one-breasted team members are visible in whatever way that feels right for them: shirts on or shirts off. Those with native or reconstructed breasts should not remove their shirts and one-breasted women should cover their remaining breast.

Q:  How will Stand Tall AFC support teams?

A: STAFC does not manage teams or hosts events. We are a resource hub with links to regional flat groups and cancer events. We empower local leaders via monthly newsletters, educational brochures, booths, and Zoom meetings.

Q: Do I need to have aesthetic flat closure to be on an advocate for AFC?

A: Not at all! Friends, family, medical providers, supporters and our pink sisters with any breast reconstruction or lumpectomy can be an ally!
