SPONSORSHIP AND UNDERWRITING OPPORTUNITIES
Our Lifesaving Mission The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service. Progress in the war against cancer has triggered a 23% decline in U.S. deaths over the past two decades, but we can t stop there. Over 1.6 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2016, and more than 595,690 Americans will lose their battle - that s over 1,630 people a day. The American Cancer Society is committed to changing these devastating odds. We know we cannot win the cancer fight alone. It will take all of us, working together, to bring this disease under control.
Our Lifesaving Mission ACCOMPLISHMENTS The American Cancer Society s patient navigation services continue to expand, with new centers at health care facilities across the nation. The program provides one-on-one guidance to people facing cancer through every step of their journey, serving more than 500,000 cancer patients and families since 2005. Thanks in part to our cancer-fighting efforts, more than 400 people a day in the US are celebrating birthdays this year who would have otherwise been lost to the disease. RESEARCH As the largest nongovernmental funder of cancer research, having spent more than $4 billion on cancer research since 1946, we ve played a role in nearly every cancer breakthrough in recent history. We fund beginning researchers with cutting-edge ideas early in their careers 47 of whom have gone on to win the Nobel Prize, the highest accolade in scientific achievement. EDUCATION We provide information that empowers people to take steps that help them prevent cancer or find it early, when it s most treatable. We partner with cities, towns, community groups, schools, faith organizations, corporations, and others to bring practical cancer fighting information through our programs that promote physical activity and smoking cessation. ADVOCACY American Cancer Society advocates and grassroots volunteers give cancer a voice and face by promoting effective cancer policies and legislation at the federal, state and local levels. Current advocacy efforts include fighting for everyone to have access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, clean air, and more. PATIENT SERVICES Each year, we help cancer patients everywhere get the help they need when they need it. For example, in 2014, we assisted over 800,000 people in Maryland who called us for help, providing free services like a place to stay while traveling away from home for treatment, rides to treatment, emotional support, and much more.
