American Cancer Society Hawai'i

This National Volunteer Week, we are acknowledging one of our lead Road To Recovery volunteer drivers, James. Hawaiʻi is looking for more drivers - DM us for more info!

“Through Road to Recovery driving, I have had the privilege to meet some exceptional people. This experience has given me a deeper appreciation for our shared humanity. I believe that connecting with others on a personal level is a truly special experience, and I feel incredibly grateful for the chance to do so through this opportunity.”

We are proud to introduce our 2024 Board Chair, Tricia Buskirk! President & CEO of Hawaiʻi Community FCU, Tricia has been an ACS board member since 2016. Tricia has actively participated in Relay For Life events in Hawaii for more than 15 years and dedicates her passion for the American Cancer Society to her father, who she credits to being the person she is today and who she lost to cancer in 2022. We are so lucky to have her leadership and support!

Let's talk about stomach cancer. 💬 We know there's lots of questions. Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is a disease that often goes undetected until later stages, making awareness and early detection crucial. Learn more about the symptoms of stomach cancer at amercancer.co/stomach.

Hoʻomaikaʻi to all the Spirit of Relay Award Winners! We honor and recognize all those who have gone above and beyond to help us at the American Cancer Society lead the fight for a world without cancer through the movement in Hawai'i. Mahalo 🌺

Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer and approximately 70% occurin low- and middle-income countries. The American Cancer Society is working around the globe to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
