Colleges Against Cancer Budget

FY2014 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014)

Colleges Against Cancer is the student arm of the American Cancer Society, with over 300 chapters nationwide. CAC focuses on four strategic directions: advocacy, cancer education, survivorship, and our main event, Relay For Life. During Relay For Life, teams of up to 15 people take turns walking around a track for 12 straight hours. While waiting their turn on the track, teams camp out at the site and enjoy live entertainment, games, and food. All money raised supports cancer research, local cancer patient services and public education. We had great success this year with several students and a good deal of members of the community attending our event and helping us raise over $36,000! Come be a part of an awesome organization for a great cause!
