Two Out Of Three People Survive Cancer.
Since the first gala in San Antonio was held in 1979, the annual event has netted more than $7 million to benefit the American Cancer Society. One hundred years ago, the American Cancer Society started the fight of a lifetime - the fight to end cancer. Back then, the word "cancer" was spoken only in whispers, and we lost almost all patients to the disease. Today, 2 out of 3 Americans diagnosed with cancer survive to celebrate more birthdays. As the official sponsor of birthdays, our own 100th birthday means it's not a time to celebrate or rest. It's time to change the statistics to 3 out of 3 people surviving cancer. It's time to finish the fight.
