History of The American Cancer Society

The American Cancer Society was founded in 1913 by 10 physicians and five lay people in New York City. It was originally called the American Society for the Control of Cancer (ASCC). Back then, a cancer diagnosis meant near-certain death. Rarely mentioned in public, the disease was steeped in fear and denial and not well understood by many, even in the medical profession. Doctors sometimes did not tell their patients they had cancer, and patients often did not tell friends or family that they had been diagnosed with the disease.

Times have changed, of course, and the fight against cancer continues in the 21st century as new discoveries and treatments have greatly improved outcomes. The war hasn’t been won yet, though, as cancer is still the second leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease.


The First Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The most common type of cancer is breast cancer, with 290,560 new cases expected in the United States in 2022. To highlight the impact of breast cancer, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was established in 1985, with October designated as the month to observe. It all started as a partnership between the American Cancer Society and the pharmaceutical division of Imperial Chemical Industries. Former First Lady Betty Ford, who had previously been diagnosed with breast cancer, helped kick off the week-long event. Her involvement helped bring even more attention to the fight against breast cancer.

This was when the first organized movement to bring attention to the dangers of breast cancer occurred in the United States. Since then, campaigns to educate the public about this disease have continued to thrive and multiply, as has public awareness.  

The pink ribbon

In 1992, Estée Lauder Cosmetics spearheaded the first nation-wide campaign that utilized the pink ribbon. The company handed out 1.5 million pink ribbons and ushered it in as the premier icon of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

Other partners in the fight

The NFL has since become one of the largest supporters of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and nearly all players, coaches, and referees don the pink ribbon each October to show their support. Many NFL teams add pink to their uniforms and team logos during the month of October.

As the American Cancer Society leads the breast cancer fight in the 21st century, they are engaging community leaders, media organizations, and influencers to help eliminate breast cancer through the nationwide Real Men Pink campaign.

Every dollar raised helps the American Cancer Society save lives from breast cancer. Money goes towards the funding of innovative breast cancer research, providing education and guidance to help people reduce their risk, and offering comprehensive patient support to those who need it most so no one faces the battle alone.

This year, Fiona, a hippo that knows a lot about adversity, is teaming up with Real Men Wear Pink and Cincy Shirts to help raise money for The American Cancer Society. A portion of proceeds from each Fiona, Save the Melons T-shirt sold will benefit both the Zoo and the American Cancer Society. These funds will be spent locally on research,  patient care, and related services for breast cancer, as well as initiatives for the care of the Zoo’s collection of wildlife and fauna.

I just had to put this out here because the truth is, everything that people tell you about digital asset recovery is not entirely true. Our past experiences play a huge role in our decision-making, especially when encountering false agencies or firms impersonating the real ones. Many people had told me that the chances of repossessing digital assets were slim. They suggested that I could either walk away from everything or try to pay off the required withdrawal fee in hopes that the scammers would keep their word. The problem was that the demands for money never stopped. I’m 48 years old, and I knew that I was just being strung along, even though I didn’t want to admit it to anyone else. Why would I have to pay a manufactured tax levy of 52,000 USDT before I could withdraw the balance on my portfolio? That’s a ridiculous amount of money that I could not afford given my financial situation at the time. With each payment giving rise to another issue, it became crystal clear to me what I had gotten myself into. I had known about Linux Cyber Security Company from my working days at eBay, where a colleague used their services to recover assets. So, I decided to inquire about their services regarding my particular situation. Thankfully, they responded and gave assurances of being able to help. Although I was quite anxious about this getting accomplished, it was worth giving a shot, so we went for it. They understood the gravity of my situation and assured me that they would do everything possible to help me recover my lost funds. Their team of recovery specialists was not only highly skilled but also genuinely dedicated to assisting victims of financial scams. A few days after we started the program, I began to see progress. The fraud company’s website had already shut down a month ago, so I was scared that it could affect my case. However, the efforts of the Linux Cyber Security Company team proved to be efficient enough. They kept me in the loop throughout the process, providing regular updates on their progress. Their thorough approach and unwavering commitment instilled a sense of hope in me that I had almost lost. With their skills and vast experience in this field, I got to have the full amount that was stuck on my portfolio balance recovered back to me on the third day. Like a ray of sunshine, my life shone bright again thanks to Linux Cyber Security Company and its team..my experience with Linux Cyber Security Company was nothing short of extraordinary. They turned a devastating situation around, proving that trustworthy and competent professionals are still willing to fight for justice. If you are a victim of financial scams, I highly recommend reaching out to Linux Cyber Security Company. They will ensure you recover everything you have lost, just as they did for me. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine care for their clients make them a beacon of hope for anyone who has been deceived and defrauded. Trusting them with my case was one of the best decisions I ever made, and I am incredibly grateful for their invaluable assistance. The website you can view about their:[www.linuxcybersecurity.com ] & Contact Email:[ info@linuxcybersecurity.com]
