Colleges Against Cancer--About Us
The Official Sponsor of Birthdays
Colleges Against Cancer
Colleges Against Cancer gives students the opportunity to bring the fight against cancer to campus, while receiving support and guidance from a local Society office. With more than 300 chapters nationwide, thousands of college students are making an impact on their campuses and the surrounding communities.
Colleges Against Cancer chapters focus their efforts on four strategic directions: advocacy, cancer education, Relay For Life, and survivorship. These areas have become a basis for the structure and activities of our chapters. Cities are becoming smoke-free, legislation protecting cancer patients is being passed, and hundreds of thousands of college students across the country are learning cancer education and prevention information - knowledge that will promote a cancer-free future.
UMSL CAC
Colleges Against Cancer at the University of Missouri--St. Louis was started in 2006. Since then, UMSL CAC has brought awareness and educated the campus of the different programs offered by the American Cancer Society. Many events are also put on throughout the year to accomplish this. Many times survivors and care givers serve as motivational speakers at these events. Relay For Life is our biggest event and the largest fundraising event on UMSL's campus.
