This year it is estimated that 2,041,910 people will hear the words “you have cancer.”
The American Cancer Society understands that navigating the path of a cancer diagnosis is difficult and filled with challenges. They are committed to being an unwavering support system, offering guidance, resources, and compassion throughout the journey.
The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision of ending cancer as we know it, for everyone. We are the only organization working to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
In 2024 our Mission Speaker, Karen Waddington, shared her incredible story with us all and showed us how together we can light the path of hope for cancer patients and their families.
For more than 10 decades, the American Cancer Society has been dedicated to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before, but there is still work to be done. Join us, support us, and help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
