American Cancer Society

My name is Tom Rieger and now lived in Minnesota for 22 winters. A topic that is near and dear to my heart is CANCER - and not because I want it to be. It has caused so much pain to so many people in my life - prostate, breast, multiple myeloma, lung and so many more. Oncology is a business - shots that cost $30,000 per shot. Monthly pill regiments that are $10,000 a month. And the tests - all the tests!!! Blood tests after blood tests, bone marrow biopsys, PET scans, bone density scans. "Death by a thousand cuts" in expense. I have an objective - do what I can to put cancer out of business (sorry all you pharmaceutical companies and cancer centers - but $%^&*() off - I am after you). During this polar plunge I will sacrifice my warmth and look to swarth having a stroke to raise money with your help. Please donate - and if you donate $200-or-more I will send you an autographed picture of the moment. What better way to enjoy every day than to see me embarrass myself to end cancer. This is happening QUICKLY on January 25 at noon and if you happen to want to attend to watch live - the weather forecast is a balmy 22F/-5C. PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR PART IN THIS BATTLE!!!

Hey y'all! It's Wyatt! Thank you so so much for even considering donating to this campaign as we prepare for the world marathon challenge... 7 continents in 7 days! As you know, I'll be running a marathon every day for a week, on EVERY CONTINENT... INCLUDING ANTARCTICA! This 1/2 of the fundraising campaign is dedicated to the American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org.

The ACS is a nationally recognized and trusted nonprofit organization "with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. [They] 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. "

An interesting stat I found on their website, "1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime." If you have not yet been personally affected by cancer, consider your donation as a contribution into the future where you and others won't have to be torn in the aftermath of this terrible disease.

I also did some research on how effective The American Cancer Society is at using their funds. Per charitynavigator.org , "This charity's score is 99%, earning it a Four-Star rating[4/4 stars, the highest rating]. If this organization aligns with your passions and values, you can give with confidence."

I'm so grateful to be a part of this wonderful community, and because Ketone IQ is covering the cost of the 7 continents trip, I think we can instead rally to support a better future as we fight against this terrible disease together. Join me in this fundraising effort for an incredible cause with the confidence that your donation will have a positive impact on our entire United States of America!

(PS, Feeding America and The American Cancer Society are Nana Approved Fundraisers :)

My dad, Alan Mancinelli, is my best friend and there are no words to accurately describe who this man was as a father, grandfather, husband, program manager, and my savior. He was a dad to many. He made sure everyone around him was the most comfortable before himself. He was the one person that could turn a moment into a memory that would never be forgotten. He loved wreck it ralph, a McDonalds cheeseburger, his unborn granddaughter (Francesca), the TV show how it's made, Pink Floyd, Disney, pizza, and most importantly his family. In only a matter of two months, my dad passed away the morning of July 3rd from lung, liver, lymph node, and bone cancer. My whole family and I were all holding him as he took his last breath.

I would like to set a base goal of $250 for the American Cancer Society. If you would like to donate you can here and for every donation that you send, you can get a cute bracelet that I have designed while resources are available. I wanted to make the amount of money raised manageable because I believe that this message is more important to spread There's so much more to say about this so if you have any questions about anything at all or how to be more involved, please please please reach out to me anytime.

Chaves Family

Our loving mother, Josephine Chaves, completed her journey to be among us. She survived 92 years, being a beautiful wife, heartfelt mother, generous grandmother, and a precious friend.

The medical examiner has cardiac arrest as the cause, yet this past year, breast (daughter), lymphoma (daughter), and esophageal (son) cancer played a major role in her health's decline while recovering from a hemorrhagic stroke. Prayers have always been her strength, and we ask you on her behalf to assist in answering an everlasting one ✨️❤️

With Love,

Always,

Josefa Barrera Briones Chaves

Donation will go directly to American cancer society

In honor of Brenda McGruder, AIA participates in the American Cancer Society Denim Day during the month of October. Brenda not only used to host this day in the past for the AIA office, but she was very passionate about the cause.

In 1996, National Denim Day started as a fun and casual way to raise funds for breast cancer research, and it has blossomed into something much bigger. This October let’s all wear our jeans to work on October 28th and contribute to a meaningful cause—your donation can be as simple as $5 or $10. Each contribution counts, and together we can help make strides toward eliminating breast cancer.

By wearing denim, we show solidarity with breast cancer survivors and patients, raise awareness about the disease, and contribute to life-saving research and support services. #WearDenimGiveHope

Please join Soaring High for Brenda -TEAM AIA in support of this cause on Monday, October 28, 2024 as we remember one of AIA’s longest-serving and most treasured employees.

With her beaming smile, Brenda takes a call at her desk during the early years of AIA at the old location.

Hope you join this great cause in honor a great woman.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

Throughout the months of October and November, we have organized a GoFundMe page to raise donations for Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer for the American Cancer Society.

By uniting our communities and raising money, we can help the American Cancer Society fund breakthrough Breast Cancer & Prostate Cancer research, provide free information and support, and help people reduce their cancer risk or find it early when it may be more treatable.

Aptar Congers will match the final amount we raise as a site through the matching gift program!

High Schoolers Against Lung Cancer is an initiative run by high school students looking to raise money for lung cancer research. We aim to show that anyone at any age can help in the fight against lung cancer, no matter what your position in life is. Many people will face life-changing issues in their life, but currently, we are fortunate enough not to hear the news of how many weeks we have left to live, or how rare this form of lung cancer is. We want to help prevent people from ever needing to hear that life-changing diagnosis, and if they do, we want to help with a cure.

This initiative is close to us as a community as we see a rapid growth in the usage of vapes in schools. In 2023, 10% of all highschoolers reported vaping, whilst 4.6% of middle schoolers reported using a vape. This tied in with smoking is an issue that needs to be addressed but also needs a solution.

The initiative is headed by Norman Decelles, a student at Mount Saint Charles Academy and an Eagle Scout. “This program is near and dear to my heart. I have personally seen the impact lung cancer has on the lives of those directly and indirectly affected. Lung Cancer can affect anyone at any time. Each year, around 209,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer, 132,000 will die from this. This is a rapidly growing problem facing us, and we need to take an initiative to stop it.”

100% of all donations will be donated to the American Cancer Society, whose mission is “to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.”
