Our Chapter

Chapter Highlights

The GenNow Network Triad chapter brings together members from the community to support the American Cancer Society. Since 2022, we have continued to see growth in our impact and look forward to what is ahead for us.

We are proud of all the efforts of our chapter, especially our inaugural Triad Red, White & Blue Party in June 2024 that raised nearly $72,000 in its first year. We’re excited for the future and to see this event become a staple in our local Triad community!

Thank you in advance for your support!

Mission

ACS GenNow Network chapters implement mission-centric opportunities for members and supporters to further ACS initiatives.

The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Together are improving the lives of people with cancer and their families as the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

The ACS GenNow Network educates members on the mission and vision of the American Cancer Society and integrates these into chapter activities. Chapters are encouraged to provide opportunities to support ACS patient support programs and services and fundraising activities.

Mentorship

ACS GenNow Network members are offered opportunities for professional development and networking with other members and chapters.

We value the opportunity to leverage the strength of our GenNow Network along with our strength as the American Cancer Society in order to help provide members opportunities for professional development through mentorship from other members and/or ACS contacts.

By creating opportunities for members to expand their personal and professional networks within the community, we allow for involvement within the chapter to benefit our members in a variety of ways.

Impact

ACS GenNow Network chapters host unique, memorable events to engage communities in raising funds to help end cancer as we know it, for everyone.

The impact component of our GenNow Network chapters is essential to helping support the life-saving mission of the American Cancer Society. From cocktail parties to music bingo events, our young professionals host trendy and impactful events to raise funds for the American Cancer Society’s vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
