ACS CAN Connecticut

Thank you Representative @rosadelauro for elevating #cancer issues in the FY26 appropriations bill. Cancer advocates in Connecticut are grateful for your bipartisan commitment to the fight against cancer!

The U.S. House of Representatives just voted YES on the year-end spending bill! Thank you, @rosadelauro, for elevating cancer issues in this package to ensure patients, survivors, and families benefit from advances in #CancerResearch, prevention, detection, and treatment.

We're helping @acscan support lifesaving cancer research and prevention funding for cancer patients, survivors, and families. @SenBlumenthal, we need your help to pass a full-year spending bill that does this. Time is running out to #ProtectCancerCures.

Cancer research saves lives, and the fight against cancer can't wait. @ChrisMurphyCT , please pass a full-year spending bill NOW to protect and increase funding for lifesaving cancer research and prevention. Advocates with @acscan need you to #ProtectCancerCures.

Shout out to our Vice SLA Maddi Petrow for her @TrinityCollege Against Cancer event! Thank you to all those who participated in honoring those affected by cancer.

Kudos to our Vice SLA Maddi Petrow who helped secure a speaker for @TrinityHillel's 19th Annual Pink Shabbat! This 11/7 event was sponsored by @trinwgrac. Joy Watkins-Jones, educates and empowers fighters, survivors, as well as caregivers. #jhrbreastcancerfoundation

Celebrate Wallingford was such a great event. Our volunteers were out in full force, advocating and face painting. So grateful for such a great crew!

Our Connecticut volunteers were at it again! Thank you for continuing to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. #CancerLobbyDay

Exciting news! On July 24, ACS CAN is launching #OneDayOneMission—a one-day giving challenge to save lives from cancer. Your generosity makes our critical #CancerAdvocacy work possible. Mark your calendars and be a part of this important moment: go.fightcancer.org/OneDay

Take a look at the huge bipartisan support for early cancer detection! @RepJoeCourtney, can I count on you to join & cosponsor the #MCEDAct? This critical bill would allow Medicare to cover MCED tests once FDA approved & clinical benefit is shown. bit.ly/MCEDSupportMap
