What is a Champion?

Champions are a group of the Pacific Northwest’s emerging leaders who have been nominated by their peers to be one of the 15 faces of the first annual Fork Cancer Seattle. Champions serve as an extension of the American Cancer Society to advocate for its mission to impact every cancer and every life. They know their way around town, are well-connected, and are philanthropic. They want to influence their community and make an impact in the fight to #SaveLives and #ForkCancer by raising a minimum of $2,500.

Wednesday, May 29, 2024, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM: “Meet the Champions” Dinner

Meet the Champions is a night to meet all of the other individuals who have committed to championing the mission of the American Cancer Society and learn more about ACS! During this evening, we will hear from an ACS-funded researcher to learn about the work they are doing here in Seattle, learn more about the mission of the American Cancer Society, and learn fundraising strategies from one of our top Champions from 2023. We want to celebrate you and your commitment during this evening with elevated wine and a two-course meal!

Thursday, July 18, 2024, 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM: Fork Cancer Seattle

Champions will receive two complimentary tickets to the first annual Fork Cancer Seattle will take place on Thursday, July 18, 2024 at Stoneburner Olympic Rooftop in Seattle. The evening will feature small plates and craft cocktails as well as lots of entertainment and a silent auction. We will also recognize and celebrate the fundraising efforts of our Champions – a group of Seattle’s emerging leaders. Funds raised by Fork Cancer will be used to ensure that the unique needs of each cancer patient are met by delivering life-saving programs, services, and advanced research. The American Cancer Society’s work has contributed to a 32% decline in the US cancer death rate from 1991 to 2019 resulting in 3.5 million fewer deaths during that time. Learn more on our main Fork Cancer page.

TBD, August 2024: Private Tour of an ACS-Funded Cancer Research Facility

All champions who raised over $2,500 may participate in this exciting private tour of an ACS-funded cancer research facility.
