Mission

2026 Mission Paddle Raise:

Early Detection & Cancer Screening Science

Push the science of early cancer detection forward!

Nearly everyone has had, or knows someone who has had, a cancer screening. From mammograms and colonoscopies to Pap tests and lung scans, these lifesaving tools exist because of decades of research the American Cancer Society helped make possible. Early detection saves lives by finding cancer when it’s most treatable and giving families more time together.

Your gift during the paddle raise this year will help strengthen and accelerate the science behind the next generation of early detection, developing better tests, smarter technologies, and innovative approaches to catch cancer earlier than ever before. Together, we can ensure that breakthroughs continue and more lives are saved.

More than 80% of our revenue is invested in delivering our mission

Early detection changes outcomes and saves lives.
