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; by
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 $3.5 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a
result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and
countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this
year.
