This team is looking forward to a successful evening in support of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. Their dedication, along with the support of generous investors, is pivotal to fulfilling the Society’s mission to support local cancer education, advocacy, research, and patient services. While the American Cancer Society estimates 13,560 new cancer cases in Utah in 2024, there is hope. And together, the Salt Lake community can help provide high-quality care to patients and families who face a cancer diagnosis. We look forward to seeing you at Fork Cancer 2025! Your support will make a meaningful difference and help to improve the lives of cancer patients and their families.
Sincerely,
Vanessa and Lexie
The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) advocates for evidence-based public policies to reduce the cancer burden for everyone. We engage our volunteers across the country to make their voices heard by policymakers at every level of government. We believe everyone should have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Since 2001, as the American Cancer Society’s nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy affiliate, ACS CAN has successfully advocated for billions of dollars in cancer research funding, expanded access to quality affordable health care, and advanced proven tobacco control measures.
We stand with our volunteers—people whose lives have been impacted by cancer—rallying to demand change. Together, we’re working to make cancer a top priority for public officials and candidates at the federal, state, and local levels. By engaging advocates across the country to make their voices heard, ACS CAN influences legislative and regulatory solutions that will end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
