For more than 100 years, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has worked relentlessly to save lives by funding research and promoting awareness of precautionary measures to build a world plagued by less cancer and able to enjoy more birthdays. Together with millions of charitable supporters worldwide, the ACS continues to help people stay well, assist people getting well, fund research to find cures, and fighting back against the negativity that cancer brings to the family, friends, neighbors and loved ones it affects.
