Cancer hasn't stopped. Neither will we.
1 in 3 people will get cancer in their lifetime and approximately 1.9 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. this year. More than 600,000 of these Americans will lose their battle-that's over 1,600 people a day.
Join us on May 20 for the ResearcHERS Luncheon,
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
at the McNamara Alumni Center on the University of Minnesota Campus.
This Women's Luncheon and Panel Discussion event will educate, inspire, and raise money to support
women who are making a difference in science and cancer research.
With your support, funds raised will help support and sustain ACS funded grants led by women.
As of 2023, there were 212 women-led research projects & ACS has invested more than $3billion in cancer research since 1991, contributing to the 3.5 million fewer cancer deaths as a result of breakthroughs.
Thank you for your support to help end cancer as we know it for everyone.
