On Any Given Day…

Cancer never sleeps. It does not discriminate, and no one is immune. Cancer can strike any family, in any community, at any time. And the only way to fight it is to be right there in those communities and with those families …every single day. That’s the great strength of the American Cancer Society. Thanks to our committed volunteers, we never sleep either. We are here to help every family…in every community…every day.

On any given day, more than 1,500 families will lose a loved one to the disease in the United States.
