The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. We are the only organization improving the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

The Mission Appeal supports the American Cancer Society AstraZeneca Hope Lodge in Philadelphia, which is a free home away from home for cancer patients and their families to stay as they undergo treatment nearby.
