For over 40 years, the American Cancer Society- Marco Island has worked tirelessly to serve our local community and national cancer research efforts, to find an end to cancer as we know it. Together, we have reached a critical milestone of 40 years because of your continued commitment. Since 1991, there has been a 33% drop in cancer death rates and more than 3.2 million lives saved. Incredible progress has been made and together we can continue the fight.

The American Cancer Society’s Imagination Ball will take place Friday, February 7, 2025, at the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort. Our sponsorship opportunities offer exciting ways to support the fight against cancer and showcase your company’s commitment to the community. As a sponsor, you will become a visible supporter of a cause that is so meaningful.

It is my honor to return as the Imagination Ball chair and am thrilled to work with our dedicated and talented committee once again. Together, we will create an incredible evening where we will come together to end this dreadful disease.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision of ending cancer as we know it, for everyone. Our mission is to help improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, and ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. We thank our loyal donors for their investment in our mission which has had such an impact on the American Cancer Society’s research. Our tradition of excellence will provide the foundation for us to set new records at the 2025 Imagination Ball; cancer does not stop, neither can we.

Sincerely,

Debra Shanahan

2025 Imagination Ball Chair
