The American Cancer Society (ACS) seeks to end cancer suffering. Dedicated to the elimination of cancer, the not-for-profit organization is staffed by professionals and some 3 million volunteers at 900 local offices across the country. ACS is the largest source of private cancer-research funds in the US. Recipients of the society's funding include 44 Nobel Prize laureates. In addition to research, the ACS supports detection, treatment, and education programs. The organization encourages prevention efforts with programs such as the Great American Smokeout and the International Relay For Life. Patient services include moral support, transportation to and from treatment, and camps for children who have cancer.
