Celebrating 31 years of saving lives March 4, 2017 Emerald Event Center Avon, OH An American Cancer Society Gala
Since it s inception, the Lorain County Life Savers Ball has raised more than $3.3 million to help the American Cancer Society free our community from the pain and suffering of cancer. Over the last 30 years, we have been able to make a positive difference in the lives of those battling cancer in our Lorain County community through such programs as Look Good, Feel Better, Reach to Recovery, and our transportation assistance Program, Road to Recovery. Thank you so very much for your continued support of the LifeSavers Ball. Your support enables the American Cancer Society to help those touched by cancer and continue our lifesaving mission in so many ways. You may not know all the American Cancer Society is doing thanks to our generous donors. Simply put: we save lives by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back against cancer. HELPING YOU STAY WELL We help you take steps to prevent cancer or find it at its earliest, most treatable stage. HELPING YOU GET WELL We re in your corner around the clock to help you through every step of your cancer experience. FINDING CURES We fund and conduct research that helps us better understand, prevent, and find cures for cancer. FIGHTING BACK We work with lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and rally communities worldwide to join the fight.
