A Brief Introduction
Who we are
Colleges Against Cancer is dedicated to eliminating cancer by spreading awareness and education through volunteer work in the community. Through cancer education, survivorship, and advocacy programs, all University of Minnesota college students have the opportunity to make a difference in the fight against cancer. We are proud to have raised over $218,000 and engaged over 2,000 participants in April 2014 to benefit the American Cancer Society's life-saving mission. Cumulatively, we have raised over $1,500,000 in the last 10 years to support our vision!
How to help
Everyone is welcome to join! Over 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, so fighting it is a mission we can all be a part of. Whether you are interested in event planning, grassroots advocacy, or volunteering, we have something for you! If you are interested in joining or just seeing what the group is like, email umcac@umn.edu for more details!
