The American Cancer Society believes finding breast cancer early can increase the chances of treating it successfully. Local funding is used to help provide screening guidelines, education for health care professionals and to increase public awareness about the importance of getting recommended tests.
Funds raised from Chattanooga's recent, record-breaking Real Men Wear Pink Campaign neared $115,000. Every action, every dollar donated, moves us one step closer to a world, a state, free from breast cancer. From research education, prevention to diagnosis, and treatment to recovery, the ACS provides support to everyone impacted by this horrible disease.
Special thanks to Taft Butcher, our 2019 Real Man of the Year; EPB, our first ever Presenting Sponsor; Jennifer Bardoner and the staff at Chatter Magazine; Dr. Martina Harris, my co-chair; our ambassadors; Robin Grant, my supportive wife; and most importantly, to our generous and supportive community for your financial support.
The ACS currently funds 16 cutting-edge, cancer fighting research grants right here in Tennessee to the tune of $10,000,000. Together, we will find a cure!
