Established in 1980, Columbus’ Golf Classic is one of the longest running & most profitable charity golf events in Central Ohio benefitting the American Cancer Society. With a Sunday evening reception and a day of golf on Monday, this premier event experience gives our sponsors, players and their guests the opportunity to cultivate relationships with other business leaders while funding the mission to end cancer.
Cancer affects everyone but not equally. Many barriers can impact a person’s ability to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer, with racism and discrimination making it even more difficult to address social determinants of health. A person’s quality of life and cancer outcomes can be determined by their ZIP code, education, income, access to health care and healthy and affordable foods, and other variables outside their control. These barriers are deeply rooted, long-standing inequities at all levels of society that will take an intentional effort to address for equitable cancer outcomes.
To ACS, and its non-profit, nonpartisan advocacy affiliate, the ACS Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN℠), health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
For more than 10 decades, the American Cancer Society has been dedicated to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before, but there is still work to be done. Join us, support us, and help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
