In the broadest sense, all the money we raise goes to eliminating cancer as a major health concern. The money raised is central to supporting our mission, which aims to focus our efforts in four main areas: research, education, advocacy, and service. Research. The American Cancer Society is the largest non-profit, non -governmental funder of cancer research in the United States, having spent over $3. 1 billion dollars on cancer research since 1946. • Education. We teach people how to avoid preventable cancers, when to get early detection tests, what treatment options exist and how to care for the cancer patient. We sponsor support groups, hold classes, seminars and forums, do outreach to health professionals who need to knew the latest information on treatment and clinical trials, and we develop programs aimed at youth and adults on the advantages of healthy lifestyle choices (don't smoke, eat fruits and au § vegetables, exercise regularly, use sunscreen, follow early detection guidelines). F5' m • Advocacy. Legislative advocacy at the federal, state, and local levels is another area — where the American Cancer Society makes a difference. Advocacy is a force multiplier in the war against cancer. Changes in laws can impact millions of people, 0 O exponentially expanding and enhancing the American Cancer Society's mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. The public policy arena can be as powerful a tool against cancer as the lab. 0 • Service. We provide free, around -the -clock information and support by phone (800-ACS-2345) or computer (www.cancer.org) every day and night of the year. With upwards of 80,000 volunteers in Florida, we provide services directly to cancer patients and their families. We have three Hope Lodges in Florida, providing free lodging to patients who need to travel for treatment. We provide transportation for cancer patients to their doctor's appointments and treatments, help people cope with their illness through support groups, offer scholarships to young cancer survivors, make possible summer camps and recreational outings for children with cancer, and provide organized opportunities for the public to join the fight against cancer. Every dollar raised by the American Cancer Society is strategically invested in the fight against cancer — 15.9 percent going toward research, 22.4 percent toward prevention programs, 14.6 percent toward detection programs and 22.7 percent toward direct patient services. The Wall Street Journal has called us "the very model of an efficient charity" because only about 18 percent of our money goes toward fundraising and less than 7 percent goes toward overall management of the organization. We keep our administrative costs relatively low because we are a volunteer -led organization that is fortunate to have more than 1 million volunteers working on our behalf across the country. Mission Statement The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community -based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing :ancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service. The help you need is a call or click away. If your doctor has told you that you have cancer, you may have many questions.

Perhaps you've heard of the latest discoveries - the secrets of the human genome unraveled, pills that attack cancer at its molecular level, genetic warning signs for certain cancers. These and almost all the scientific milestones in cancer research got their start with funding from the American Cancer Society. Thanks to our generous supporters, we have distributed nearly $2.5 billion to researchers since 1946. Of those investigators, 32 have gone on to win the Nobel Prize, proving our record of identifying the best and most promising research ideas. As the largest private, nonprofit source of research funding, we're committed to making the discoveries that could save your life or the life of someone you love. But we don't stop there. With the help of public health colleagues and volunteer advocates - people like you - we work with our elected leaders to ensure: • Greater government investments in cancer research and research application • Policies that allow every American, regardless of income level, access to lifesaving treatments • More access to innovative clinical trials that save lives as they advance our understanding of this disease If you've been touched by cancer, we can give you the opportunity to fight it in ways that will help you and others. SUBMITTED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD FOR ITEMpfl( ON-io-o' 5 You don't have to have cancer to worry about it. Although cancer tops the list of Americans' health concerns, many people don't know they have the power to do something about it. The American Cancer Society's early detection guidelines are developed by leading medical and scientific experts to help you decide when and how to get tested for cancer. Thousands of lives have been saved each year thanks largely to greater use of early detection tests to find cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage. We know that everyday choices - such as diet, physical activity, tobacco use, and sun protection - make a big impact in preventing cancer. So we encourage healthy lifestyle decisions that could help avoid up to two-thirds of cancer deaths in our country. To help you make these life changes, we offer services such as smoking cessation tips and counseling. By collaborating with communities, corporations, physicians, and the media, we arm you with what you need to know to lower your cancer risk. And by working with public health partners, volunteers, and lawmakers, we help ensure every American has access to lifesaving cancer tests and can live, work, and play in a healthy environment. While our presence is nationwide, our approach is community -based. We work within each community to understand the barriers to health, determine how best to address those issues, and ultimately help lift the cancer burden.
