2 BACKGROUND & NEEDS Impact Statement Helping People Stay Well We provide life-saving cancer information through partnerships with most major hospital systems and healthcare organizations in our area, as well as other major businesses and organizations through our systems approach. We are addressing cancer disparities in our community through partnerships with diverse organizations, community education grants and other awareness campaigns. More than 1 million Floridians accessed valuable cancer information through Helping People Get Well in the Mid-Coastal Florida Area Serving residents of DeSoto, Hardee, Highlands, Manatee and Sarasota counties Local residents benefit from our support programs, from the nationwide Cancer Survivors Network to our community-based programs. Finding Cures Prevention and treatment is better for nearly every cancer patient in our community because of American Cancer Society-funded research. Our research has led to a wide range of new detection methods, cutting-edge therapies and cancer drugs and improved treatment options. We have invested more than $4.3 billion on research since 1946, and we are the largest private source for cancer research funding in the nation. We have funded 47 scientists who went on to win the Nobel Prize. Fighting Back Residents of Florida are protected from the dangers of secondhand smoke in virtually all workplaces because of our efforts to pass a constitutional amendment. Florida s youth learn about tobacco prevention and adults receive significant smoking cessation assistance because of our success in securing permanent funding for the state s youth tobacco prevention program. Tens of thousands of Floridians will quit smoking thanks to our success in leading the legislative campaign to increase the state s tobacco tax by $1 per pack. 80% by Removing Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening Act (RBCCSA) Needs Statement As the American Cancer Society, our goal is simple: continue to save lives and create more birthdays in your community by helping people stay well, get well, by finding cures and fighting back against cancer. 1. Volunteers for our Road To Recovery program, which utilizes volunteer drivers in order to transport cancer patients to and from their treatments (A little less than $1,000 provides approximately 723 rides to and from treatment). 2. Volunteers for DeSoto, Hardee, Highlands, Manatee, and Sarasota Counties who are passionate about our mission and willing to help coordinate and raise funds through our special events, Relay For Life, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and Big Top Gala. It is imperative that we are able to raise funds to fulfill our mission. 3. Funding to provide Mid-Coastal Florida Residents with usage of the Hope Lodge Facilities which offer cancer patients and their caregiver a free, temporary place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city ($1,000 keeps the Hope Lodge open for one full day). Background Statement Founded in 1913, the American Cancer Society(ACS) consists of more than three million volunteers and staff collaborating with nearly 18 million cancer survivors, their families and supporting donors united nationwide to conquer cancer. To accomplish its mission, the ACS collaborates with other voluntary health agencies, community-based organizations, business leaders, legislators, and educators at the national and grassroots levels to identify and address nationwide and local cancer issues through education, patient service, research 2

Your 2017 Mid-Coastal Volunteer Leadership Board has been installed and is beginning its work across the six counties of Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee, Highlands, Manatee and Sarasota. As chairwoman, I ve been blessed to serve with the very energetic, hardworking men and women from all walks of life who share the same objective: To be the "Official Sponsor of Birthdays" across our territory, the American Cancer Society Mid- Coastal Area. Kobee Masiello Statement from the CEO/Executive Director Dear Prospective Donor, The American Cancer Society Florida Division is saving lives and creating more birthdays everyday through the work we do locally in your community and throughout the nation. We help people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early. We help people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis. We find cures through investment in groundbreaking research. And, we fight back by educating lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities to join the fight. As the country s largest voluntary public health organization, our impact is far-reaching. In fact, a dollar invested in our organization makes more of an impact in the fight against cancer than a dollar invested anywhere else. It is hard to find people that have not been touched by the work of the American Cancer Society. From our patient services programs that offer free rides and lodging while patients undergo treatment, to our cancer information hotline and website that provides information and resources 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, we help cancer patients and their families with their cancer journey. We are the largest private nonprofit source of cancer research funding in the nation and have contributed more than $4.3 billion toward innovative, lifesaving research since As a result, research funded by the American Cancer Society can be attributed to most cancer research breakthroughs and discoveries in this century. We also fund the best and brightest researchers early in their careers, 47 of whom have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. With a grassroots force of more than three million volunteers nationwide and more than 300,000 in Florida, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We have worked together to advocate for major changes in Florida s law, including making workplaces smoke free, increasing cancer research funding by the state, increasing the tobacco tax by $1 per pack and securing permanent funding for the state s comprehensive tobacco prevention program. As a result of the American Cancer Society s efforts and progress, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. Your support makes a lifesaving difference for cancer patients in every community. It also touches millions of others who, thanks to continued education, prevention and research, will never hear the devastating words, You have cancer. Thank you for partnering with us to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

5 PROGRAMS Research Description Research - Support provided to academic institutions and scientists to seek new knowledge about the causes, prevention, and cure of cancer, and to conduct epidemiological and behavioral studies. Budget $148,468, Category Program Linked to Organizational Strategy Population Served Short Term Success Long Term Success Program Success Monitoring Program Success Examples Medical Research, General/Other Cancer Research General/Unspecified Researchers funded by the American Cancer Society are able to complete their work in the field of cancer research, by utilizing the funding for the needed resources. Cancer research is a pillar of the American Cancer Society s mission. Research, education, advocacy and service are our core priorities. It is the American Cancer Society s research program that determines, not only for the American Cancer Society, but for the nation, the direction we must choose in combating this disease. The public and the government rely on the American Cancer Society epidemiology research program to direct the efforts to control cancer. The American Cancer Society has funded 46 scientists who have gone on to earn Nobel Prizes. Today over 10 million cancer survivors and 47 Society funded Nobel Laureates are a testament to the strength of this pioneering research program. We are able to monitor our success through cancer discoveries and breakthroughs, as well as the rising number of cancer survivors. The American Cancer Society is justly proud of the 46 investigators who were supported before they went on to win the Nobel Prize, considered the highest accolade any scientist can receive. This is a tribute to the Society s Research program and the strength of its peer-review process. The Society garnered two more Nobel Laureates in 2009: Former grantee Thomas A. Steitz, PhD, shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, PhD, and Ada E.Yonath, PhD, for their groundbreaking studies of the structure and function of the ribosome. The ribosome is the factory in cells that is responsible for making all proteins, and proteins are critical for life. Ribosomes are targeted by some drugs used to treat cancer, and ribosomes are also critical for all proteins made for therapeutic use, including proteins made to help patients with cancer. Former grantee Jack W. Szostak, PhD, shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Elizabeth H. Blackburn, PhD, and Carol W. Greider, PhD, for discovering the enzyme telomerase and what it does to chromosomes. Most cells have a finite life span because chromosomes shorten each time a cell divides, whereas a subset of cells can replicate indefinitely due to the action of telomerase. The discovery of telomerase and its function shed insight into how cancer cells could grow indefinitely by turning on telomerase, thereby immortalizing the cells. 5

6 Prevention & Detection Description Prevention Programs that provide the public and health professionals with information and education to prevent cancer occurrence or to reduce risk of developing cancer. Through Advocacy we encourage lawmakers to make cancer a top legislative priority. We educate them about how their decisions effect cancer patients, survivors and their families, as well as those who might have a cancer diagnosis in the future. We influence laws and policies that can fund cancer research; ensure access to care; offer prevention, early detection and quality cancer care to the medically underserved; and reduce suffering from tobacco related illnesses. We led the fight to make Florida s workplaces smoke-free, secured permanent funding for youth tobacco education and helped raise the state s tobacco tax by $1 per pack. Budget $0.00 Detection Programs directed at finding cancer early. We educate men and women about the importance of getting tested. The Florida Division is committed to raising public awareness, dramatically decreasing the number of Floridians who are diagnosed each year and greatly improving the quality of life for those touched by the disease. Category Program Linked to Organizational Strategy Population Served Short Term Success Human Services, General/Other General/Unspecified Youth tobacco programs aid in ensuring that today's youth do not start smoking. Education Campaigns increase awareness of recommended guidelines for cancer screenings. Long Term Success Today, over 70% of all Americans live in a smoke-free community. - But millions are still forced to work in smoke-filled workplaces. Today, advances in cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and care mean that we are winning the war on cancer. - But Congress has frozen or cut funding for cancer research and programs for the past five years. Today, women have better access to mammograms. - But millions of women, men and children are uninsured and millions more are underinsured, with little or no access to life-saving screenings and treatments. 6

7 Program Success Monitoring Program Success Examples Increased cancer screenings, reduced mortality rates nationwide. ACS CAN can measure success by our ability to defeat cancer through: Funding aggressive grassroots, lobbying and media campaigns to make every state smoke-free and to increase tobacco taxes and funding for cancer research. We advocate for early detection programs such as mammograms and colon cancer screenings Educating the public and media directly by supporting sophisticated training programs for volunteers to strengthen our movement and ensure that our voices are truly heard in the halls of government; Hosting debates and producing voter guides, candidate forums, and advertising to get every lawmaker and candidate on the record in support of laws and policies that help people fight cancer and save lives. These efforts produce policies, laws, and regulations that further the overall mission of both the American Cancer Society and ACS CAN. ACS CAN campaigns led by volunteers and staff across the nation have: Led to 35 states as well as Washington, DC and Puerto Rico to go smoke-free Supported a 62-cent increase in the federal cigarette tax, preventing 1.9 million children from becoming lifelong tobacco users Helped secure U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulation of tobacco products Increased federal cancer research funding for the National Institutes of Health 7

8 Patient Support Description Patient Services Programs and services that assist cancer patients and their families after diagnosis and during treatment. We have multiple programs and services to assist individuals through their cancer experience. Our assistance is free and can help patients through every aspect of their fight against cancer.
