Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.
- Martin Luther King

LETTER FROM THE CO-CHAIRS
As Co-Chairs of the American Cancer Society’s 15th Annual Discovery Ball we are delighted to invite you to join us on Saturday, October 2 at the Hilton Chicago. You will experience live music, auctions, and a truly remarkable evening recognizing the heroes that we are, and the role we can play to close the gap in health equity.
The American Cancer Society’s Health Equity for Research and Operations (H.E.R.O.) initiative honors those in our communities – survivors, families, friends, neighbors, researchers, public health officials, individual fundraisers, and corporate partners – who are heroes to themselves and each other in the critical fight for health equity.
Everyone – no matter who they are or where they come from – deserves a fair and just chance to learn about, prevent, or battle cancer.
Together, WE can change the face of cancer. Will you join us in being that change?
EVENT LEADERSHIP
LETTER FROM THE CO-CHAIRS
The American Cancer Society's Indianapolis Discovery Ball is a premier event that raises funds for the Society's mission to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer. While progress has been made in cancer research, we still have a lot of work to do.
We invite you to support our efforts to finish the fight against cancer by joining us on November 5, 2022 for a beautiful evening bringing together business and community leaders to this event.
In 2021, the Indianapolis Discovery Ball raised a little more than $535,000 to help the American Cancer Society continue to fund life-saving research as well as free programs and services for cancer patients and their families in the Indianapolis metro area and across the nation. We know with your participation, we can help to make this cancer's last century.
Thank you for your support!
