Colleges Against Cancer

Every twenty-four seconds someone in the United States is diagnosed with cancer. This year, over 2,400 of those diagnosed will be college students. Seattle University Colleges Against Cancer is a new student group committed to making a difference for those touched by cancer by initiating activities that promote cancer awareness on our campus and by raising funds to support the American Cancer Society. We believe that our efforts will help find a cure and engage our campus community in the fight against cancer.

We Need Your Help:

Our important efforts to eliminate cancer and diminish the suffering that far too many effected by cancer face are only possible with help from people like you. Please consider joining our group or participating in the exciting activities listed below.
