The American Cancer Society Schools vs. Cancer program helps your child and family start on a lifelong path to healthier living. The program educates students over how to reduce their chance of getting cancer through: healthy eating, sun safety, physical activity, and tobacco prevention. Educational materials and resources will be provided that align with your school’s existing curricula while also introducing the topic of cancer in a youth friendly way.

While learning healthy habits, students can fundraise for the American Cancer Society and benefit their school while doing so! Schools enrolled in Schools vs. Cancer can receive a financial giveback based on their fundraising total to use on items the school may need, for example new gym equipment, sun safety area outside, sunscreen stations, student incentives, etc.
