The American Cancer Society GenNow Network engages young professionals across the nation in the fight against cancer. These passionate individuals raise funds and awareness by leveraging their personal and professional networks, organizing mission-based activities and events, and fostering community partnerships.
Our GenNow CLT chapter supports ACS’s mission to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
By joining our @ACSGenNowCLT chapter, you are making an investment in our vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
This board offers unique networking, fundraising initiatives, and events throughout the year; including supporting the 4th annual Taste of Hope Charlotte.

In 2023, ACS Young Professional groups raised nearly $5 Million.
