American Cancer Society - Indiana

As the largest non-government, not-for-profit funding source of cancer research in the United States, the Society is currently funding 162 research grants focused on breast cancer, an investment of more than $67 million. Dr. Michael Wendt, a researcher at Purdue University, holds one of those 162 breast cancer specific grants funded by the American Cancer Society. He was awarded a four-year Research Scholar Grant in 2017, totaling 792,000, for his work which is focused on increasing the understanding of why breast cancer tumors metastasize, and how that process alters anticancer drug targets that drastically lower survival rates. He hopes his research can lead to new targeted therapies that will reduce mortality and improve survival rates for those whose tumors have metastasized. The American Cancer Society’s research program has played a role in many of the prevention, screening and treatment advances that help save lives from breast cancer today.

DID YOU KNOW??
THE ACS LOGO- It was in these early years that the Society first used its now-iconic Sword of Hope symbol, which today is part of the organization’s logo. The sword came from a 1928 nationwide poster contest sponsored by the ASCC and the New York City Cancer Committee. George E. Durant of Brooklyn won the contest, receiving a first prize of $500. He selected the sword to express the crusading spirit of the cancer control movement. The twin-serpent caduceus, which forms the handle of the sword, emphasizes the medical and scientific nature of the Society’s work. Classically, twined serpents represent healing of the sick and creativity of the healthy.
Over the past 100 years, the logo has changed many times. The current American Cancer Society logo presents a contemporary, powerful, and cohesive entity. The trapezoidal shape with the angled edge suggests forward movement, aspiration, and growth. The overall design creates the image of a flag being carried forth toward victory. This symbol is intended to unite people in the common goal to save lives from cancer.
