Together we are making a real difference in the fight against cancer! The Cancer Project is devoted to promoting good nutrition as a way to prevent and survive cancer. Research has uncovered an indisputable connection between the foods we eat and our health. As more people understand this connection, the more progress we are making towards shaping a better future for ourselves and our children.
A gift today to The Cancer Project is guaranteed to go straight back into our nationwide community programs that can directly help the one out of every two men and one out of every three women in our country who will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.
The Cancer Project’s work has been groundbreaking in terms of increasing visibility and influencing nutrition reform to save lives. Notable milestones this year alone include:
- We conducted 2,600 Food for Life nutrition classes reaching a record number of cancer patients and survivors with a hands-on message for taking control of their health and provided easy lessons on how to eat for prevention and survival. The ripple effect of these classes is tremendous as the information is taken from class and passed along through friends and family.
- Our National Cancer Symposium brought together more than 300 physicians and health care professionals to learn about the latest findings linking diet and cancer from renowned researchers. At the end of the conference, 70 percent of attendees had intentions of changing their treatment recommendations to patients based on the presentations.
- Our advocacy team launched an aggressive campaign for school lunch reform and to remove cancer-causing foods from school cafeterias.
