American Cancer Society fundraising events are a powerful platform not only to raise critical funds, but also to amplify the voice of the community. Event organizers can easily incorporate advocacy by encouraging participants, teams, and supporters to take action—such as signing a petition that supports policies to improve cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship. By adding this simple step, your event can make an even greater impact beyond fundraising. For additional guidance, tools, and ideas on how to integrate advocacy into your event, connect with your American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) State Grassroots Manager and visit – https://www.acsresources.org/resource/advocacyengagement/
