MISSION INTEGRATION

Join the American Cancer Society on the third Thursday in November and host a Great American Smoke Out event on your campus to encourage others to quit smoking – reducing their cancer risk and taking an important step toward a healthier life.

SURVIVOR & CAREGIVER ENGAGEMENT

Love Notes Around The World is a volunteer-led platform where individuals and groups have opportunities to create, share, and/or send messages of compassion to cancer patients in treatment, caretakers, care providers, and others in need.

Each Hope Lodge offers cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city. Chapters can do a Hope Lodge collection drive to send items to a local Hope Lodge.

FUNDRAISING
