American Cancer Society Memorial and Honor Giving
A donation to the American Cancer Society is a thoughtful way to honor someone whose life has been
impacted by cancer. Gifts can be made to recognize milestones in a cancer
survivor’s life or to express the sense of loss when someone loses their battle
with this disease. Your donation will help saves lives and create a world with
less cancer by helping people stay well, helping people get well, by finding
cures, and by fighting back.
Once your gift is received, the American Cancer Society will
promptly send a card to the honoree or family acknowledging your gift. Please click here for more
