In 2023, a group of dedicated volunteers came together and over a few short months, planned a golf tournament which resulted in increasing the scope of the Society’s impact towards helping cancer patients here in CT.
Your support is more important than ever. This year in Connecticut, an estimated 23,550 new diagnosed cancer cases and 6,440 deaths are estimated in 2024. It is events like these, made possible thanks to sponsors and participants like you, that make the American Cancer Society the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision of ending cancer as we know it, for everyone.
Join us on June 24th at Tunxis Country Club, New England’s largest golf complex and has been a lively center of recreation and hospitality in the Farmington Valley since its founding in 1962!
As we gear up for the American Cancer Society’s 2nd annual Connecticut Golf Classic, your involvement becomes a vital contributor to funding lifesaving research, as well as providing free programs and services for cancer patients and their families. I LOVE golf, but golfing with a purpose is so much more meaningful. Come join me on the course this June 24th where together we are making a difference in the fight against cancer!
Leadership
As the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, discovery, and patient support, the American Cancer Society has made significant contributions to the fight against cancer over the last 110 years. We advocate for lifesaving policy changes, promote healthy lifestyles to help prevent cancer, and provide information, answers, and support to people in every community who have been touched by cancer. We also research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatment
Yet, there is still work to be done – which is why we are so glad you have joined us tonight! The American Cancer Society continues to work tirelessly to fund research and provide support for all types of cancer. And thanks to your generous support, we work to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Every cancer. Every life.
