Women make invaluable contributions to cancer research, yet they’re consistently underrepresented in research leadership. The ResearcHERS campaign wants to change that. Together, we can sustain women-led cancer research, bolster the careers of women researchers, and support a more robust pipeline of female leaders in cancer research. Our goal? To ensure the unique perspective of women remains a powerful and growing force in cancer research.
ResearcHERS is bringing together our community’s most influential female leaders to raise funds to fuel the work of women scientists. And we need women like you to join the movement.

ResearcHERS gives women an opportunity to fundraise for women-led cancer research, but it’s more than a fundraising program. ResearcHERS is a sisterhood of purpose determined to sustain women-led cancer research and recognize the female trailblazers in the field. While the American Cancer Society has funded 49 scientists who have gone on to become Nobel Laureates, none of them has been a woman...yet. That’s why we’re calling on our community’s most influential female leaders to become ResearcHERS Ambassadors, leaders committed to fundraising in support of women-led cancer research. Register yourself or nominate someone you know - and help fuel the future of women in cancer research today.

SURVIVORS AND CAREGIVERS
At Relay For Life events, no one faces cancer alone. We come together every year at more than 2,500 Relay events around the country to support and celebrate survivors and caregivers.
Each Relay has special events and activities (many throughout the year) just for survivors and their caregivers, so they can connect with others and know there is a strong support system available to them.
