Pink Differentlysm

What does it mean?

Better Research.

Unlike most "pink" organizations, the American Cancer Society funds research for breast cancer plus all other cancers. Why? Because discoveries in one area often yield answers in another—results underscored by the 44 Nobel Prize winners whose work we've funded.

Better Treatments for All.

From developing mammography to introducing breast conserving lumpectomies to winning insurance coverage like Illinois' new oral chemo law, the American Cancer Society continues to work so all women have more options.

Year-Round Support.

The Society drafted the first annual Congressional Resolution designating October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but our commitment goes far beyond pink ribbons in October. We help cancer patients with hands-on support in every community, every day of the year.
