The American Cancer Society Relay For Life represents the hope
that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who
face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be
eliminated. Your involvement with Relay For Life supports
lifesaving American Cancer Society programs and services.
- Comprehensive
cancer information is available 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, through 1.800.ACS.2345 or
www.cancer.org.
- The Society is
the largest source of nonprofit, nongovernmental cancer research
funding in the US, investing about $130 million each year.
To date the Society has funded 32 Nobel Prize-winning
researchers.
- We fight for
lifesaving laws to increase federal research funding, reduce
tobacco use, promote early detection of cancers, improve access
to care, and support cancer patients.
- The Society's
services for cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and those
who love them include transportation to treatment, peer support
group programs, and resources for practical assistance.
