AACR 115th Anniversary

Donate in celebration of the AACR's 115 years as the driving force to eradicate cancer 

In 1907, 11 visionary founders gathered in Washington, D.C. and instituted the American Association for Cancer Research "to further the investigation and spread the knowledge of cancer."

From those 11 founders 115 years ago to our more than 50,000 members today, the AACR has been at the forefront of every major discovery in cancer research, etiology, prevention, detection, treatment, and cures.

In 2022, the AACR commemorates the 115th anniversary of its founding and celebrates the unparalleled progress made against cancer throughout its history.
