As the American Cancer Society’s childhood cancer initiative, Gold Together empowers individuals to help raise funds to directly support research, education, advocacy, and services, as well as promote cancer prevention efforts that could reduce children’s risk for cancer later in life. We believe that the future can be free from childhood cancer. My son Alex was only 5 years old when he was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer, watching him fight cancer changed my life forever. It opened my eyes to how underfunded childhood cancer research is and how the treatments are often decades old. The National Cancer Institute —the government agency that is responsible for research and education— receives a $6.44 billion budget (2020). Only 4% of the NCI budget is directed to pediatric cancer. All pediatric cancers combined (brain cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma, bone and tissue etc.) I relay to help raise more funding for childhood cancer because our children deserve more than 4! |

Your support allows the American Cancer Society to continue:
Advocacy
Fighting cancer in city halls, statehouses, and Congress by elevating the patient voice to advance policy change through the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN)
Patient Support
Ensuring no one feels alone at any point on their cancer journey, from prevention to survivorship, and, for some, the end of life.
Discovery
Investing in breakthrough science to find more - and better - treatments, uncover factors that may cause cancer, and improve patients' quality of life.
Health Equity
Ensuring that all people have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive cancer. ACS and ACS CAN believe all people should have a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from cancer regardless of how much money they make, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, gender identity, their disability status, or where they live.
