Our 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.

Through Relay For Life, we mobilize the world’s largest movement to defeat cancer once and for all. We’re fighting for every birthday, threatened by every cancer, in every community. And we get results.
