How You Can Help Us Fight Cancer
Champion Society
The American Cancer Society’s Champion Society are dedicated supporters sharing a common goal to save lives by including the American Cancer Society in their will or estate plan. They come from all walks of life. Some are cancer survivors. Many have lost loved ones to the disease. All understand the impact of cancer. Together, they help attack cancer from every angle while establishing a personal legacy. With over 4,000 members, the Champion Society provides a foundation to continue progress in cancer research, preventative care, and critical patient services to improve quality of life and ultimately, save more lives.
Becoming a Champion is easy. One simple option is leaving a gift to the American Cancer Society in your will, also known as a bequest. Other gift options can provide current and future financial benefits, such as a charitable gift annuity or charitable trust. Our estate and gift planning professionals can tailor a plan that best fits your specific needs.
