Dance Against Cancer (DAC) was founded in 2010 by Erin Fogarty and Daniel Ulbricht, friends, artists, and children of parents who bravely battled cancer. DACʼs mission is to bring the global arts community together to fight cancer through dance, with an annual performance featuring the dance worldʼs brightest stars and an annual youth performance featuring the industryʼs future stars. DAC events and volunteer projects benefit the American Cancer Society’s patient programs and cancer research, and to date, have raised more than $3.9M.
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.
