The ACS Diversity in Cancer Research (DICR) Internship Program continues this summer in collaboration with Charles R. Drew University/UCLA and USC. This impactful 8–10 week program offers students hands-on research experience aimed at advancing health equity and increasing diversity in the field of cancer research.
In August, interns will present their work during a culminating showcase—details to be announced. We’re proud to support this important initiative and the next generation of leaders in cancer research.
Join us on Sunday, April 28 at 8 PM at USC for In Due Season, a powerful documentary from ACS CAN and director Ashley O’Shay.

We’d love to invite you and your colleagues to participate in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Greater Los Angeles. This campaign is focused on women’s health – from prevention to survivorship – and will culminate in two amazing 5k breast cancer walks during the month of October: Making Strides of Los Angeles at the Citadel Outlets on Saturday 10/18 and Making Strides of Santa Monica at the Santa Monica Pier on 10/25. Both walks are giant pink parties that honor caregivers, survivors, and thrivers and are fun for the whole family. We’d be thrilled to see you there!
