From the American Cancer Society website:
FACT: The federal government is the nation's largest funder of cancer research.
FACT: Insurance companies begin covering many cancer screenings - like mammograms, colonoscopies and Pap tests - because the American Cancer Society and its advocacy affiliate, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) help get laws passed requiring them to do so.
FACT: More than 30 states and thousands of communities are now smoke-free as a result of advocacy.

The American Cancer Society is a nationwide health organization with one goal: to eradicate the world of cancer.
I am 15 and was diagnosed with cancer last year. I've had surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. I am participating in a local Relay for Life in June to help fight this global issue, and I would really appreciate it if YOU could help in this battle. By donating to the American Cancer Society, you are helping to supply cancer patients with the help they need and are asking our legislators to do more to help end this disease.
Please donate here.
Thank you for helping to end the SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE WORLD.
