The American Cancer Society is proud and honored to be the official charity sponsor of the Hood to Coast Relay. Founded in 1913, the American Cancer Society is the leading nationwide voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer through research, education, advocacy and service. Donations raised through the Nike Hood To Coast Relay help the American Cancer Society educate the public about cancer prevention; provide programs to patients and their families; fund life-saving research; and advocate for cancer screening legislation that benefits all Oregonians and their families. We would like to extend a huge thank you to all the teams, sponsors and volunteers who donate to the American Cancer Society through the Nike Hood To Coast Relay.
