CEOs Against Cancer

Greater Philadelphia Chapter

Founded in 2014, we are the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Cancer Society CEOs Against Cancer program. Nationwide, there are more than 500 members in 16 major metropolitans representing a powerful network that includes the most prominent names in business today. Members bring the passion, expertise, and resources needed to prevent, treat and cure this disease, which costs U.S. employers $225.8 billion each year.

The American Cancer Society’s CEOs Against Cancer program is the premier partnership of world-leading CEOs dedicated to eliminating unnecessary deaths and suffering from cancer nationally and globally in the 21st century. Our vision is to leverage the collective knowledge, power, and resources of ACS and the business community to turn the tide of this epidemic and chart a path to a world with less cancer for people everywhere.
