Dear business leaders and friends,
The burden of cancer is unacceptably high. Approximately 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will get cancer in their lifetime. In 2025 alone, more than 2 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed in the United States, and more than 600,000 people will die from cancer. Cancer affects everyone, but it doesn’t affect everyone equally. Through events like our Cincinnati Golf Classic, we can help the American Cancer Society provide hope to those who face this disease.
When you choose to partner with the American Cancer Society, you choose to support an organization that is working around the clock to reduce the burden of cancer in every community. This organization is continuing to discover new ways to treat and prevent cancer, improve the quality of life of those living with a diagnosis, provide critical patient services, and advocate for improved access to care.
In the past 20 years, the Cincinnati Golf Classic has raised over $6.7 million to help the American Cancer Society continue to fund life-saving research as well as free programs and services for cancer patients and their families in our community and across the nation. We know with your participation, we can help to make this cancer’s last century. We hope to see you on the course!
