MSU Colleges Against Cancer

Michigan State University's Colleges Against Cancer (CAC) is the biggest non-profit organization on campus. CAC is dedicated to eliminating cancer by working to implement the programs and mission of the American Cancer Society.  The four main aspects of CAC are Advocacy, Cancer Education, Relay for Life, and Survivorship.

•  Advocacy- To actively support cancer preventing policies by working with elected officials and campus administrators to influence policy-making.

• Cancer Education - Become informed and spread the word about simple steps that can be taken to help prevent cancer. The three main aspects of Cancer Education are Breast Cancer Awareness, Tobacco Awareness, and Nutrition and Physical Activity.

• Relay For Life - The main event of CAC, it is an overnight event to raise money for the American Cancer Society and celebrate those who have, and still are, battling cancer. 

• Survivorship - Taking the time to celebrate those who survived the battle and support those who are fighting. 

We will have a monthly event that will encompass one or more of the four main aspects of CAC.  In addition, we will have monthly meetings to keep you up to date on the happenings of CAC as well as inform you on the lasted information about Relay for Life. To top it off, we will also have a monthly newsletter!
