Dance Against Cancer brings the global arts community together to fight cancer with this one-night-only annual performance to benefit the American Cancer Society. Past shows have included performances by the dance world’s brightest stars from New York City Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre, Ballet Hispánico, Martha Graham Dance Company, Jacob Jonas The Company, Ladies of Hip Hop, Broadway stars, and more.
Dance Against Cancer has raised more than $4 million to support the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
As the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, discovery, and patient support, the American Cancer Society has made significant contributions to the fight against cancer over the last 110 years. We advocate for lifesaving policy changes, promote healthy lifestyles to help prevent cancer, and provide information, answers, and support to people in every community who have been touched by cancer. We also research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatment.
Yet, there is still work to be done – which is why we are so glad you have joined us tonight! The American Cancer Society continues to work tirelessly to fund research and provide support for all types of cancer. And thanks to your generous support, we work to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Every cancer. Every life.
For more than 10 decades, the American Cancer Society has been dedicated to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before, but there is still work to be done. Join us, support us, and help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
