What happens with the money raised?

Funds raised through Agents Against Cancer help the American Cancer Society save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays by:

Helping people stay well by educating and empowering women to live healthy lives and reduce their risk for breast cancer, and to get screening tests such as mammograms to find breast cancer early, when it is easiest to treat
Helping people facing breast cancer get well by providing information, day-to-day help, and emotional support to guide them through every step of their breast cancer experience
Finding cures by investing in and conducting research that leads to groundbreaking discoveries into breast cancers causes and cures
Fighting back by working with legislators to support laws that help women battle breast cancer and help all women get access to screenings and care
