The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion
with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from
cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers,
we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community.
We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting
it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after
a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking
discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat
cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the
nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing
more than $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we
do. As a result, more than 13.7 million people in America who have had
cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays
this year. To learn more about us or to get help, call us any time, day
or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.
