Wouldnt the Societys money be better spent on research to find a cure than on this campaign?
The American Cancer Society is and will continue to be the largest source of private cancer research funds in our country. Thanks in large part to Society-funded research, there are currently many proven ways to save lives from cancer, such as early detection tests that find cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages and cancer treatments that offer a cure for many people. Tragically, too many people do not have access to these lifesaving measures because of lack of insurance or costs not covered by insurance. With the current state of our health care system, the same will happen with any innovative new cancer discoveries that may result from the cancer research that the Society funds today.
