Behind every patient is a family, a story, and a community. No one should face cancer alone or in the dark. Knowledge is power. Together, we can make the cancer journey less lonely.
Exciting News
Today, we are honored to hand-deliver 700+ Virginians' petition signatures to protect cancer research funding to Senator Mark Warner's office.
December 8, 2025
Thank you to the wonderful staff representing Senator Mark Warner for speaking with volunteers from the Virginia American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) today about the critical need to #ProtectCancerCures. We delivered the signatures of hundreds of Virginians supporting the petition to protect the infrastructure needed to continue making the advances we must as we search for new treatments and cures. As the petition notes, “Cuts to research funding, workforce reductions, and spending freezes all jeopardize progress in the fight against cancer. The president’s budget proposal calls for devastating cuts to research funding and completely eliminates programs that help detect cancer early. But we can’t go back. Cuts have consequences.” Thank you, Senator Warner, for championing lifesaving cancer research funding.
