That's a long-time joke with my Police Crowd ... since NONE of us did crack we used to joke about it when we'd do something silly. ;) I've said it so much in the last 25 years that I often forget not everyone GETS the joke! LOL

One of the ladies on my team works for the ACS headquarters here in Atlanta and she passed this on to us:


How are the funds/contributions specifically used?
They support ACS’s efforts to save lives and create a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays.

The Society is saving lives by:

Helping people stay well from breast cancer
• With guidelines for proper nutrition/physical activity and breast cancer screenings that help doctors and average Americans understand how to reduce breast cancer risk and what tests they need to find breast cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage.

Helping people facing breast cancer get well
• Available around the clock to guide people facing breast cancer through every step of their cancer experience.
• Offering one-on-one support from breast cancer survivors who have been there (Reach to Recovery®), programs to help with beauty techniques during treatment (Look Good…Feel Better®), free wigs through wig banks where available, assistance with daily challenges such as transportation and lodging, and assistance to help make informed decisions about care.

Fighting back against breast cancer
• Because every woman deserves access to breast cancer screenings and treatment, ACS continues to work with their advocacy affiliate, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action NetworkSM (ACS CAN), to help increase funding for programs like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). This successful program provides low-income, uninsured and underinsured women access to mammograms, follow-up care and treatment, regardless of their ability to pay.

What can my contribution really do?
• $15 can provide a personal health manager information kit
• $20 can provide a ride/transportation to treatment ($40 for a round-trip)
• $50 can provide a prescription for pain and nausea medication
