American Cancer Society

We save lives. And here is what sets us apart -we fight for everyone.  Cancer doesn't discriminate; neither do we.  We fight for every life threatened by every kind of cancer - everywhere. 

We're a nationwide organization, but we're in your community, with a community-based approach to fighting cancer.  We have an in-person, on-the-ground presence in nearly every American community.   We empower every American to personally fight back against cancer. 

And...we get results.  Millions of cancer survivors - and countless Americans who have avoided cancer - are alive because of the progress we've made together.  Overall, more than 14.5 million cancer survivors in American will celebrate a birthday this year thanks to the progress we're making together.

Together with our more than three million volunteers across the country, the American Cancer Society saves lives and creates more birthdays every day by helping you stay well, by helping you get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back.  With the combined force of wisdom from our century of experience and our passion to get results in this fight, we are in relentless pursuit of our ultimate victory: a world without cancer.
