Mission Statement
The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.
Description
The American Cancer Society prides itself on providing the public with accurate, timely and un-biased information on cancer. We have a webiste, a 24-hour National Cancer Information Center and many publications to keep up-to-date information. We offer community cancer control programs, many patient services and detection and treatment guides to ensure that cancer is diagnosed at the earliest possible stage when there is the greatest chance of successful treatment. We provide these services by holding our signature fundraisers Relay For Life, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and Cattle Barons Ball put on by countless number of volunteers.
