There are so many ways to help, and we love that you want to know how. 

Be our biggest fan!

The American Cancer Fund has partnered with a variety of organizations to help our friends and supporters chose the best fundraising vehicle for them. Here is a sample of some ways to donate to the American Cancer Fund. Some options let you donate without opening your wallet as the merchants make a donation in your name when you make a purchase.

Social Media

Social media challenges and trends play a significant role in boosting awareness of various causes by engaging large audiences in fun and interactive ways. These viral activities, such as the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS or hashtag campaigns for mental health awareness, encourage people to participate and share their experiences, thereby spreading the message to their networks. The widespread visibility and the communal aspect of these trends help raise awareness, generate donations, and mobilize support for important issues, turning everyday social media interactions into powerful tools for social change.

#KissingOffCancer

The "Kissing Off Cancer Challenge" is a powerful initiative aimed at raising awareness and funds for cancer research and support services.  This campaign not only helps to generate widespread awareness but also encourages donations to help combat cancer and support those affected by the disease.


Participants share photos or videos of themselves blowing a kiss on social media, using the hashtags #kissingoffcancer #ACF #kissoff #kissoffcancer #kiss to spread the message. 


Shop For Your Cause!

Many companies offer programs where they donate a portion of your purchase to a favorite charity. By shopping with these companies, you can support causes you care about without any extra cost to you. These programs often work by allocating a percentage of your purchase or offering a fixed donation amount to your chosen charity each time you shop.


By choosing The American Cancer Fund as your charity of choice when shopping online, you can make a positive impact on your community or support important causes while enjoying your regular shopping activities.  

If you need help finding other participating companies, iGive is like a shopping mall of your favorite stores that send donations to The American Cancer Fund when you buy.
