ADVOCACY American Cancer Society advocates grassroots and volunteers to give

cancer a voice and a face by promoting effective cancer legislation at the federal, state and local levels. Current efforts include fighting for everyone to have access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, and clean air.

RESEARCH Since 1946 we have invested well over

$4 billion on cancer research. We have played a role in nearly every cancer breakthrough in recent history. We fund researchers with cutting-edge ideas early in their careers. Of those 47 have gone on to win the Nobel Prize,

We currently fund 14 research grants in Tennessee

valued at $7.2million. There are seven grants right here in Memphis at UTHSC and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
