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 46 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’s commitment goes far beyond pink ribbons in the spring and fall. We help cancer patients with hands-on support in every community, every day of the year. From lobbying Congress for funds to help underserved women get access to screenings and treatment, to providing lifesaving services such as rides to treatment, free wigs and emotional support programs, the Society’s helping hand on the cancer journey offers healing…and hope.
