The American Cancer Society has a great opportunity for sports programs across the metro.
The Coaches vs. Cancer program is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the local coaches. This initiative leverages the personal experiences, community leadership, and professional excellence of coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs.
With support from participating coaches and athletes alike, the American Cancer Society saves lives every day by helping people stay well by taking steps to prevent cancer or detect it early, helping people get well with hands-on support and services for patients and loved ones, finding cures through groundbreaking research, and fighting back by rallying communities worldwide and working with legislators to pass laws that defeat cancer.
