A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE FUNDS AND AWARENESS FOR HOPE LODGES AND OTHER CRITICAL PROGRAMS IN SUPPORT OF THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER. The American Cancer Society s Pan Ohio Hope Ride July 24-27, 2014 [328 miles >> Cleveland >> Columbus >> Cincinnati] Hope Ride Sponsorship The American Cancer Society s Pan Ohio Hope Ride provides your company/organization the opportunity to partner in an effort to save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays by helping you stay well, helping you get well, by finding cures and fighting back. One example of helping people get well is assisting with access to care by providing lodging through our nationwide Hope Lodge program. What is the Pan Ohio Hope Ride? The Pan Ohio Hope Ride is a noncompetitive, four-day, multistage cycling event starting at the Society s Hope Lodge in Cleveland and ending near the Hope Lodge in Cincinnati. In 2013, the Pan Ohio Hope Ride raised more than $750,000 and since its inception in 2007, it is has raised more than $3 million. We expect in 2014 that this unique statewide event will surpass the $4 million dollar cumulative total. What is a Hope Lodge? Getting the most up-to-date treatment sometimes means cancer patients must travel far from home. Having to travel for access to leading-edge care places even greater emotional and financial burdens on cancer patients and their families. The Society offers many patient service programs to help ease such burdens. The Society s Hope Lodges offer free, comfortable housing for patients undergoing hospital treatment. More than just a place to stay, these lodges provide a home-like, nurturing environment where patients and their family members can find support among other residents going through similar experiences. Two of the Society s 32 owned and operated Hope Lodges are located in Cleveland and Cincinnati.

2012 American Cancer Society East Central Division (Ohio & Pennsylvania) MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENTS In communities across Ohio and Pennsylvania, the American Cancer Society is committed to saving lives and creating a world with more birthdays by helping you stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back against cancer. Here are just a few of the ways we can help. STAY WELL GET WELL Tobacco use is a major preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States. Cigarette smoking is by far the most important risk factor in the development of lung cancer. One third of cancer deaths are related to physical inactivity and poor nutrition. Mammography is the most powerful tool for the early detection of breast cancer. Colorectal cancer is preventable through screening. We Help You Stay Well By: Giving an estimated 3.8 million adult smokers in Ohio and Pennsylvania access to information, referrals and support resources to help quit smoking by calling 1-800-227-2345 In partnership with more than 50 companies, we have provided assistance in creating policies that impact tobacco use in the workplace resulting in a healthier workforce. Educating individuals, healthcare professionals, and policy makers about the relationship between maintaining a healthy weight, nutrition, physical activity and cancer Cancer Prevention Study Two (CPS-II) was the first to show that being overweight or obese shortens life expectancy. It also linked obesity to increased deaths from more than 10 different types of cancer. Increasing breast and colorectal cancer screenings with a focus on underserved communities through community partnerships, health care provider engagement and encouraging individuals to seek information about detecting cancer early With the help of partners, we have invested funding and resources in community projects to increase cancer screening in underserved communities. Our projects have educated over 4,300 participants and screened over 2,400 individuals. We have provided tools and resources to physician practices to increase cancer screening among eligible patients. There are 14 million people alive today who have had cancer in the United States. An estimated 144,900 people in Ohio and Pennsylvania will be diagnosed with cancer this year. The American Cancer Society provides information, day-today help, and emotional support to people with cancer and their families. We want to help you get well. Our help is free and we are available anytime, day or night. Call us at 1-800- 227-2345 and speak to one of our cancer information specialists or visit us online at cancer.org.

Providing emotional support through the cancer journey 11,140 patients and caregivers received emotional support from cancer survivors; help dealing with the cosmetic effects of cancer treatment; and online or group education and support.
