American Cancer Society ResearcHERS - Women Fighting Cancer

Women supporting women who are researching cures & breakthroughs for #cancer has kicked off! Interested in being an American Cancer Society - Women Fighting Cancer Ambassador? Contact christine.schifkovitz@cancer.org.

Women make invaluable contributions to cancer research, yet they're consistently underrepresented in research leadership. The ResearcHERS campaign wants to change that. Together, we can sustain women-led cancer research, bolster the careers of women researchers, and support a more robust pipeline of female leaders in cancer research. Our goal? To ensure the unique perspective of women remains a powerful and growing force in cancer research.
ResearcHERS is bringing together our community's most influential female leaders to raise funds to fuel the work of women scientists. And we need women like you to join the movement.

ResearcHERS gives women an opportunity to fundraise for women-led cancer research, but it's more than a fundraising program. ResearcHERS is a sisterhood of purpose determined to sustain women-led cancer research and recognize the female trailblazers in the field. While the American Cancer Society has funded 49 scientists who have gone on to become Nobel Laureates, none of them has been a woman...yet. That's why we're calling on our community's most influential female leaders to become ResearcHERS Ambassadors, leaders committed to fundraising in support of women-led cancer research. Register yourself or nominate someone you know - and help fuel the future of women in cancer research today. See www.ACSResearcHERS.org.
