Mission Moment

Supporting our Neighbors in East Texas

This year’s Tyler Cattle Baron’s Ball mission moment paddle raise will support American Cancer Society’s Patient Transportation and Lodging Grant Program and Breast Cancer Research.

Breast Cancer Research
The American Cancer Society helps people with breast cancer in every community. Our research programs have played a role in many of the prevention, screening, and treatment advances that save lives from breast cancer today. And, we continue to fund research to help save even more lives in the future. In the last 30 years alone, the American Cancer Society has invested over $700 million in grants related, at least in part, to breast cancer research.

Access to Care
The American Cancer Society works to remove barriers to timely, high-quality cancer care. We award grants to health system partners that help alleviate the strain of transportation and lodging for people with cancer. These grants address these urgent patient needs to improve outcomes and remove financial burden.

Every dollar donated will go directly to fund our national portfolio of innovative Breast Cancer Research or Access to Care for Texas cancer patients.
