December 2024
A Time of Giving
Behind every statistic is a face, a story, and a family—people who now have a fighting chance against cancer because of your support.
Together, in 2024 we've:
- Improved lives in every state in the U.S. with the power of early cancer detection
- Doubled the number of teachers helping educate students on life-saving 3 Steps Detect®
- Translated early detection into 5 languages so that more people can access life-altering health information
- Changing the culture in the fire service to reduce late-stage cancer deaths
- Equipping Fortune 100 Company associates with life-saving early cancer detection
Our work is far from done.
Every day, half of those diagnosed with cancer will detect it too late. With your support, we are changing this. Your gift helps people access life-saving early cancer detection.
With your gift, people understand their critical role in early detection, navigating healthcare, and accessing timely care that can save their lives.
This holiday season, stand with us by making a tax-deductible year-end gift to DetecTogether.
