Comedy Against Cancer:
American Cancer Society funded researchers have contributed to nearly every major cancer research breakthrough, including the first ever successful chemotherapy treatment. We cannot afford to lose progress. All money raised during the evening’s
Hands Up for Hope will support the American Cancer Society’s Extramural Research Program.
Mission Funding: Extramural Research
Since 1946, the American Cancer Society has supported researchers at pivotal points in their career – to give them the support they need to keep great research going or to take their ideas from dream to reality. The American Cancer Society is proud to have helped more than 24,000 investigators make important advances in prevention, early detection, treatment, and care for those with cancer. In fact, 50 of those investigators have gone on to win the Nobel Prize, considered the highest accolade any scientist can receive. As the largest private not-for-profit, non-governmental funder of cancer research in the US, the American Cancer Society has played a role in many of the major cancer research breakthroughs of the last century.
