Help the American Cancer Society "Fund the Mission" by directly allocating funds to transportation assistance in Louisiana or cancer research.

At the American Cancer Society, we're on a mission to free the world from cancer. Until we do, we'll be funding and conducting research, sharing expert information, supporting patients, and spreading the word about prevention. All so you can live longer - and better. Last year alone, the Society provided over 24,000 services to cancer patients and families from Louisiana.

Help local patients with access to care:

Access to care, specifically transportation, continues to be a burden on many local patients facing treatment. Through our "Fund the Mission" initiative, donors have the opportunity to allocate contributions 100% to funding local transportation grants. All dollars pledged through this initiative will be available via application for cancer centers in our local communities, such as Lafayette.

Fund life-saving research:

Next to the Federal Government, the Society is the largest funder of cancer research. In fact, we are currently funding over $410 million in research grants. You can help grow these efforts by pledging a donation that will be allocated 100% to cancer research.

Donations, volunteers and supplies are needed for the Backpack Project. We are requesting monetary donations for the purchase of the backpacks, then we will fill the backpacks with community donated supplies. (All monetary donations are tax deductible.) You can donate online at www.casaofsola.org. We will host a one-day volunteer event for families to assemble the Backpacks and "First Night Bags".  We will have new craft stations set up for volunteers and children of all ages to make notes with words of encouragement to aid in the transition, key chain pulls and picture frames to decorate.  We are encouraging families to attend to teach their children about volunteerism, CASA and foster children.
