Farmers Against Cancer
Helping American Cancer Society combat cancer in Iowa to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat and survive cancer.
Farmers Against Cancer was established in 2024 with the objective to help the American Cancer Society combat cancer in Iowa. With Iowa ranking #2 in cancer incidence rates, it’s time to rally a small but mighty farming community and take pride in the health of this amazing state.
With the FAC offering three pillars of participation: Funding (F), Awareness (A) and Corporate Partnerships (C) to support the three pillars of ACS: Patient Support, Research and Advocacy, we’ve created an opportunity for anyone to be a part of this community!
