What to expect at Relay In November, your American Cancer Society Board of Directors approved an updated, simple, and powerful mission statement that will help articulate the direction and focus for our organization. It’s action-oriented, concise, and memorable. It focuses on what we do – not how we do it: “The American Cancer Society’s mission is to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.” That new mission statement is exactly the sort of bold approach we expect the new ACS to take. Most importantly, while our mission is now simply stated, our purpose remains the same. This statement reflects the fact that the new American Cancer Society will be better positioned to deliver on this mission. Our strategic planning work is preparing us to lead the cancer fight in a whole new way.
