The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service. Your American Cancer Society is in your corner around the clock to help you stay well and get well, to find cures, and to fight back.

Volunteers are needed to provide transportation for cancer patients through our Road to Recovery program, assist with the Relay For Life of Montgomery County and the Crawfordsville Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events, help coordinate and conduct Look Good...Feel Better workshops (special qualifications required), and offering peer support to newly diagnosed cancer patients through our Reach to Recovery and Man to Man programs. For more information about these programs or to volunteer, please visit www.cancer.org or call (800) 227-2345.
