When fundraising for the Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society, the most frequently asked
question from those we ask for money is "where does it go?" Below are just a few of the many places that
the money goes and it shows how little it takes to make a big difference for Research and Patient Care.

$120 provides researchers with a case of 144 petri dishes - allowing them to turn theories
into cancer cures.
|
$250 provides 83 hours of toll-free access for the American Cancer Society's National Cancer Information Center.
The center receives 1.2 million calls every year to its 24-hour toll-free line, 1-800-ACS-2345, where specialists
answer questions about cancer treatment options and local cancer resources.
|
$500 helps provide visits to five women from the American Cancer Society's Research to Recovery� program. This program
introduces breast cancer patients to select survivors who can answer questions and provide emotional support.
|
$1000 provides expenses for a patient to stay for free during cancer treatment in one of the American
Cancer Society's Hope Lodge facilities located in major cities nationwide.

How can you put a price on a child's smile? Camps for children with cancer run by the American Cancer
Society let kids be kids. They swim, play sports, and enjoy other camp-style fun in a supportive environment
that recognizes their special medical needs. And the kids attend free of charge thanks to generous donors.
