Mission Statement

The mission of the American Cancer Society is 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.

Description

We are a leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. We are improving the lives of people with cancer and their families as the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. 

We couldn’t do what we do without our volunteers, fundraisers, and donors. Together, we’re making a difference - and you can, too. Become a volunteer, make a tax-deductible donation, or participate in a fundraising event to help us save lives.

Our fundraising events are key to fighting for our mission and building a supportive cancer community. Our community events and patient services are funded entirely by donations.

The people at ACS - Tinley are WONDERFUL. They are really appreciative of whatever help they get and there is always something to do. The work is rewarding and they can always use extra hands.
