Celebration on the Hill 2006

On September 19-20, 2006, thousands of American Cancer Society "Celebration Ambassadors" gathered in Washington, DC for Celebration on the Hill 2006—a unique event to show our country's lawmakers how the American Cancer Society is waging the fight against cancer in communities nationwide.

Launched in 2002, Celebration on the Hill put a personal face on the fight against cancer. Ambassadors from every single legislative district formed an impressive grassroots force that successfully communicated the American Cancer Society story, convincing our national leaders to increase their commitment to battling the disease on all fronts—research, education, advocacy and patient services.
