CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

The American Cancer Society Corporate Impact Awards are presented annually by the Society’s Corporate & Systems Initiative, which creates meaningful, long-term relationships with employers of all sizes by engaging them in delivery of the American Cancer Society's lifesaving mission and support for its numerous programs and services. The Corporate & Systems Initiative helps companies implement scientifically sound, comprehensive wellness programs and provides information and high-quality support for cancer screening and care.

Nominations are now being accepted for the 2013 Nationwide Corporate Impact Awards Series. This award series honors corporations and a chief executive officer for their engagement and leadership in targeted efforts to significantly impact the effects of cancer in the workplace, contributions to support the American Cancer Society's fight against the disease, and responsible community involvement – all in support of the Society’s vision of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Efforts by companies to significantly impact the effects of cancer on their workforces will help reduce disease-related expenditures and lost productivity costs, which total $225.8 billion in the United States each year.

The five Corporate Impact Award Series categories open for nomination are listed below:

  • Excellence in Leadership and Impact - CEO of the Year
  • Excellence in Tobacco Control
  • Excellence in Cancer Control
  • Excellence in Employee Engagement
