Thank you to our sponsors and supporters for an incredible evening at the 15th Tides of Change Gala. Thanks to your support, we raised $103,000 to support the life-changing mission of the American Cancer Society. Not only did we raise critical funds to advance the mission of the American Cancer Society, but we celebrated the accomplishments of our six wonderful honorees, three of whom are Survivors, with so many of their loved ones and colleagues. It truly was a special night! We look forward to seeing you at the 16th Annual Tides of Change Gala on November 14, 2024!

About the
The American Cancer Society exists to improve the lives of cancer patients and their families. We are the only organization that integrates discovery, advocacy, and direct patient support to measurably improve lives. Our discovery research leads to breakthroughs in preventing, finding, and treating cancer. Our advocacy work removes barriers to care so people in every community can have an opportunity to access those breakthroughs. Through direct patient support, we connect people in every community with essential programs and support services throughout their cancer journey. Because while cancer affects everyone, it doesn’t affect everyone equally. Through our commitment to these areas of focus, we are working to ensure everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Our work improves lives.
Since 1991, there has been a 33% decline in cancer mortality. We can directly attribute declines in the overall cancer death rate to investment of funds and resources in the areas of advocacy, discovery, and direct patient support.
But there is more we can do.
In 2023, more than 1.9 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed in the United States and more than 600,000 Americans will die from cancer. We have an opportunity not only to support people throughout all stages of their cancer journey today, but to take meaningful steps toward the goal to reduce the death rate from cancer by at least 50% over the next 25 years.
