The president just released a proposed budget with devastating cuts to cancer research, prevention, and early detection. Tell Congress they must oppose these cuts! act.fightcancer.org/a/congress-r...

May is the awareness month for multiple cancers, and we'll be touching on each throughout the month. For more information on these cancers or others, visit cancer.org.

...and more celebrations!

It's time for this week's Tuesday Toast! We're happy to have a lot to celebrate this week!

Yesterday the Access to Breast Cancer Diagnosis Act was introduced in the House & Senate. The #ACBDAct helps remove financial barriers to imaging such as MRI, ultrasound or mammograms, which are important in diagnosing #BreastCancer. We urge Congress to swiftly pass this bill.

We've added some sponsors, so I think it's time we take a look at all of our supporters! We are thankful for each and every one of you!

Last, but not least, is the head and neck cancer types. It's a bit of a list to get all of the included cancers in here. Head on over to cancer.org for more info!

Today's the day to get the best deals! Stop out to the Midland County Fairgrounds and support Team Cure!

We're happy to see Robinson Industries returning as a sponsor this year! Welcome back!

It started with one man. One track. One mission. In 1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt walked for 24 hours to change the future of cancer. Next Thursday, we’re celebrating his first step—and yours. We will be able to see our impact on a live leaderboard and on our event page starting 5/1 (#GordysGiveBackDay)!

Talk about the apple of our eye! Sponsorship is a core (ha) part of our fundraising and Bayne's Apple Valley has stepped up!

It's time for the Tuesday Toast! We've got quite a bit to celebrate this week!

We've got a lot of names on our Michigan spring challenge roster! If you're not on it, you've got one week left!

Our volunteers are the most important part of ACS CAN. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to make cancer a top priority for public officials & candidates across the country. Thank you for everything you do to advocate for policies that reduce the cancer burden for everyone. ❤️ #NationalVolunteerWeek

We are looking for volunteer drivers in our area. The hospital systems have expressed a dire need for the program to reboot in Mid-Michigan! Do you or does someone you know have some flexibility in their schedule to help provide even 1 ride per month to a cancer related appointment?

The Coffee Grounds Shoppe has jumped up another fundraising level! Thank you for all of your support!

Here's where I'd give a shout out to my dentist. They check every time I go in for a cleaning! Does yours do the check? Let us know!

Have a wonderful day with family and friends!

Let's give credit where credit is due! Health Advantage Credit Union is a new sponsor this year!

Need some help getting to that $250 for that swanky 80's shirt? Check this out! There's a few days to make up, but we have faith in you!

Check out all of these new fundraising levels!

We have three new Rising Star teams this week!

We've got lots to celebrate this week!

@acscan.bsky.social needs us! The Detroit airport (DTW) is considering adding a cigar bar. We need your voices to tell them NO today (4/15)! Please email: [email protected] Subject of E-mail: Public Comment Airport Authority

Prevention for esophageal cancer is similar to general prevention steps. Pick one and make it a habit!

Breaking: The House just passed a budget resolution that will lead to devastating cuts to #Medicaid. Countless cancer patients rely on Medicaid for their care. Experts agree there is no way to make cuts as massive as those proposed in this bill without causing real harm. #MedicaidMatters (1/2)

We've got a new team this week! Welcome to Sunlight Photography by Kinsey Davis! Congrats to Bay City Academy for becoming a rising start team AND meeting their set fundraising goal! Congrats to the Battling Buccaneers for becoming a bronze team!

Congrats to all of our bronze and silver level fundraisers. Also, a special shout out to our newest Grand Club members, Diane and Kelly!

We're about to flood your feed with the awesome amount of celebrations we have this week! Sorry (not sorry)! First up, welcome to our new participants. Also, let's celebrate our new Hope Club members and those that have met their personally set fundraising goal!

We encourage everyone to keep and eye on whatever parts they have and this is no exception! Make yourself a reminder to do that monthly self check! 🗓️ #TesticularCancer

"Two patients’ treatments using the experimental therapy had to be delayed because NIH’s capacity to make personalized cell therapies has been slowed by the firing of highly skilled staff and by purchasing slowdowns. Those occurred even before major layoffs took place Tuesday." (1/2)

Tonight's our big kick-off party! We hope to see you there!

The Coffee Grounds has added another shot of espresso to their fundraising. They're now a silver sponsor! Thank you for helping us roast cancer!

April is the awareness month for esophageal, oral, head, neck, and testicular cancers. We'll be posting about each throughout the month, but you can find more information at Cancer.org.

It's National Walking Day! Exercise is part of cancer prevention, so grab a friend or pet and head out! Grab some selfies while your out and tag us! (bonus if you wear Relay gear).

Guess who's bringin' in the bacon for our event? Meijer is! Thanks for helping us fight against cancer!

We're welcoming Griggs Building and Remodeling back as a sponsor this year! Thanks for helping us build that momentum!
