Here's how your donations get used:
Research:
For more than 65 years, the American Cancer Society has been finding answers that save lives. From changes in lifestyle to new approaches in therapies to improving cancer patients quality of life. No single nongovernmental, not-for-profit organization in the US has invested more to find the cause & the cures of cancer.

Hope Lodge:
Where to stay & how to afford accommodations are immediate concerns for cancer patients who must travel away from home for the best treatment. American Cancer Society Hope Lodge facilities provide a free & comfortable place for patients and their caregivers to stay so they can focus on getting well.
Road to Recovery:
Cancer patients frequently cite transportation to and from treatment as one of their most critical needs. The American Cancer Society Road to Recovery Program matches cancer patients with specially trained volunteer drivers.
Look Good, Feel Better:
This free service teaches women battling cancer beauty techniques to help them improve their appearance and self image during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Volunteer beauty professions demonstrate makeup techniques, nail care, skin care & options related to hair loss. Participants can also get their free wig during this program!
Reach to Recovery:Our Reach to Recovery support program matches specially trained breast cancer survivors with people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer & want to talk to someone who has been there. These dedicated volunteers offer understanding, support & hope.
