The CAC program allows college students, faculty, and staff to work together to bring American Cancer Society programs and services to college communities nationwide. It’s easy to get started! Just contact your local Society office to find out how to form a CAC student organization on your campus. Then get busy fighting cancer!

There are four ways you can work with CAC to help us fight cancer—through grassroots advocacy, prevention and early detection education, Relay For Life^®, and activities honoring cancer survivors. Here are some ways CAC chapters make a difference:

• By working as advocates through our electronic Legislative Action Center
• By promoting the Great American Smokeout^®, breast cancer awareness, sun safety, and healthy lifestyle choices within your campuses and communities
• By participating in—or even hosting—a local Relay For Life event
• By inviting cancer survivors to participate in Relay, planning survivor dinners, and hosting cancer support groups

Your local CAC chapter will become part of a network of more than 175 other colleges and universities nationwide. These chapters share ideas and inspiration through phone calls, regular emails, and a monthly newsletter.
