Cancer Moonshot


Cancer Support Community of Greater St. Louis and American Cancer Society High Plains Division are partnering together to take action against cancer as part of the Vice President’s Cancer Moonshot.

On June 29th, the Vice President is convening a Cancer Moonshot Summit, including conversations in communities across the United States. These Summits will be the first time that individuals and organizations representing the entire cancer community and beyond – researchers, oncologists, care providers, philanthropists, data and tech experts, advocates, patients and survivors – will all convene under the national charge to double the rate of progress toward a cure.

The St. Louis Moonshot Summit will be an opportunity to share updates and discuss efforts to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care while keeping the patient experience at the front of the conversation.  As a participant in the Summit, you will be able to hear the Vice President’s comments about the Cancer Moonshot and the implications of the Cancer Moonshot from researchers and patients affected by cancer.

• WHERE: American Cancer Society, 4207 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, Mo 63108
• WHEN: Wednesday, June 29 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
• Lunch will be provided

Now is a great time to meet up with other supporters in your community to share stories, generate new individual and organization commitments, and get ready for the work ahead.
