Our Mission

The goal of the Carolina Cancer Association is to contribute to both the healthcare and cancer-oriented communities by promoting meaningful involvement in academia and volunteerism, spreading awareness about cancer and its extensive direct and indirect effects, and fundraising for national non-profits to make a sustainable impact in our community. 

 

We serve as a platform that presents undergraduate students with opportunities to: 
1) Immerse themselves in scientific and cancer-related research 
2) Gain exposure to the medical field through volunteer positions at UNC Hospitals 
3) Contribute to meaningful community service organizations, such as the American Cancer Society.
