Circle is Complete in honor of Misha Huffman
Cancer, "the disease that never sleeps", is still there. According to AACR, "In the U.S., overall cancer deaths are continuing to decline and the number of cancer survivors have reached an all-time high. My sister Misha Huffman, my father Bob Campbell and my grandmother that passed away before I was even thought of, never had that chance to become a surivor. My grandmother Artie Misha Swisher passed away from cervical cancer, my dad, Bob Campbell died from lung cancer with mets to the brain, and my sister Misha Huffman died from a fast growing cancer caused from 5 shots injected into her body because she worked in the medical field during COVID. So you ask, "How do we do it?" We go out there and get donations. We have various fund raisers, including give back days, rummage sales, pie sales and the list continues on. We also go to directly to businesses, sharing our stories of how cancer has affected our families in hopes that they will either donate or sponsor our team.

Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.
Since 1991 we have invested $3.43 billion in cancer research.
We have received over 360,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2023.
Cancer patients benefited from the ACS transportation support through our Road To Recovery program and transportation grants in 2023, with nearly 769,000 rides provided.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

This isn’t what I wanted.
Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.
Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
