In its early years, membership was kept low, never surpassing 2,000. In 1936 Marjorie Illig, a field representative and leader of a women's public-health committee, suggested the group “wage war on cancer.” The Women's Field Army wore khaki uniforms and successfully raised money and recruited volunteers.

Goals: Cancer Society funding is prioritised into areas that improve equity in cancer outcomes, which may include prevention, screening, psychosocial support, or survivorship.

Caring for the whole person, from diagnosis through survivorship, is a 365-day-a-year job, but with your support we can ensure no one has to face cancer alone. Join us and show that life is bigger than cancer.

We fund scientists, doctors and nurses to work towards prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Funding supports something as big as a new research centre down to the small glass slides that are used to analyse cancer cells.
