About the American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society is a national, nonprofit, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Our Global Headquarters is located in Atlanta, Georgia, and we have Regional and local offices throughout the country to ensure we have a presence in every community. Our organization is composed of volunteers, supporters, researchers, staff, and donors.
At the American Cancer Society, we're on a mission to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer. Until we do, we'll be funding and conducting research, sharing expert information, supporting patients, and spreading the word about prevention and early detection. All so you can live longer — and better.?
From funding breakthrough research for new cures, treatments, and ways to prevent cancer, to providing patient programs and services, to advocating for policy change that saves more lives — we're doing everything in our power to create a world without cancer.

Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop most telemarketing calls, but not all.

Additional questions and answers concerning the National Do Not Call Registry can be found at?.
As a public charity, the American Cancer Society is not covered by the requirements of the National Do Not Call Registry. However, we respect your privacy and recognize that you may wish to limit the ways in which we contact you.?If you do not want to receive calls from or on behalf of the American Cancer Society, you may ask at any time to be removed from our calling list.?We will be glad to place your phone number(s) on our internal "do-not-call" list.?You can also email us at?privacyrequest@cancer.org?to request restrictions or complete our?Opt Out?Form on cancer.org to limit how we contact you.
