Mission Statement
The American Cancer Society is the nation’s largest community-based voluntary health organization and has played a role in virtually every groundbreaking cancer advance realized. With volunteers as its backbone, the Society tackles all cancers on all fronts to eliminate cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering.
The Young Professional Leadership Council (YPLC) is a group of young professionals that support the mission and programs of the American Cancer Society of the National Capital Region through fundraising initiatives and positive public relations. Further, we hope to give our members the chance to develop their skills and experience in the non-profit sector by working with one of the world's most respected and recognized charitable institutions.
