Our GenNow Board helps amplify the voice of our community by supporting the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN). Through year‑round engagement, we educate local leaders, elevate survivor stories, and champion public policies that improve access to cancer prevention, treatment, and early detection.
Fork Cancer has become our chapter’s standout experience—bringing together young professionals, local chefs, and community partners for a night of food, energy, and purpose. Each year, this event raises essential funds that fuel ACS CAN’s advocacy work and inspire new supporters to get involved.
ACS GenNow Network chapters implement mission-centric opportunities for members and supporters to further ACS initiatives.
The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Together are improving the lives of people with cancer and their families as the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
ACS GenNow Network educates members on the mission and vision of the American Cancer Society and integrates these into chapter activities. Chapters are encouraged to provide opportunities to support ACS patient support programs and services and fundraising activities (participate in other fundraising events, serve as program volunteers, etc.)
ACS GenNow Network members are offered opportunities for professional development and networking with other members and chapters.
We value the opportunity to leverage the strength of our GenNow Network along with our strength as the American Cancer Society in order to help provide members opportunities for professional development through mentorship from other members and/or ACS contacts.
By creating opportunities for members to expand their personal and professional networks within the community, we allow for involvement within the chapter to benefit our members in a variety of ways.
ACS GenNow Network chapters host unique, memorable events to engage communities in raising funds to help end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
The impact component of our GenNow Network chapters is essential to helping support the life-saving mission of the American Cancer Society. From rooftop cocktail parties to poolside social events, our young professionals host trendy and impactful events to raise funds for the American Cancer Society’s vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
