The American Cancer Society On Campus is a community of student-led organizations dedicated to promoting cancer awareness and fundraising for the American Cancer Society (ACS). The American Cancer Society invests in lifesaving research, provides 24/7 information and support, and works to ensure that individuals in every community have access to cancer prevention, detection, and treatment. Our ACS On Campus organization affiliated with Westwood High School invites you to join us to bring hope to those impacted by cancer and fight for a world without cancer.

There are plenty of opportunities to help improve the lives of others in your community, such as joining leadership positions, advocating for legislation, and spreading survivor stories.

Advocacy – Students have spoken to hundreds of elected officials to help pass key cancer- related legislation, such as increasing cancer research funding; helped underserved families gain access to cancer screenings; and helped make many school campuses smoke-free. 

Patient Support – Students are bringing hope to people impacted by cancer by volunteering to drive them to treatment through ACS’ Road To Recovery® program, donating goods to Hope Lodge facilities where cancer patients stay for free while undergoing treatment, and honoring cancer survivors by hosting survivor dinners.

Cancer Education/Research – ACS On Campus chapters across the country have shaped service projects to promote healthy lifestyles and helped students cope with their own cancer diagnosis or that of a loved one.

Development/Fundraising – In 2022, collegiate and high school fundraising events raised over $5 million for the American Cancer Society to fight back against every cancer, in every community, every day.
