ACS CAN Campus Petition Challenge
November 4th - November 7th
Ending Cancer Starts On Campus!
Petition Challenge Goal
1000 Signed Petitions
Challenge Overview
Join the Campus Challenge to Help Protect Lifesaving Cancer Research Funding.
Tell Congress: Reject cuts and increase funding for cancer research to spur progress
Cancer research is delivering lifesaving breakthroughs, treatments, and cures, but progress depends on consistent federal investment.
Only a small fraction of new ideas for ways to prevent cancer, methods to treat the disease, and cures get the funding they need to move forward. Too many ideas that have the potential to save lives are left on the table because there simply isn’t enough funding to support them.
In 2026, there are 5,790 new cancer diagnoses and 1,720 deaths from cancer in the U.S. every single day.
During this four day challenge, we are encouraging everyone to visit and sign the petition.
