I just had someone ask me for a copy of an old brochure we used to have titled something like "Where the money goes". Is there another reference like this available? If someone has something to share, I'd love to know about it. Thanks!

Here's a new page on RelayForLife.org that helps to answer this question: http://www.relayforlife.org/relay/node/3839  50 Examples Of Where The Money Goes
Here's a blog post that lists 50 different programs and services of the American Cancer Society. While not all of them are available in every community, many such as our research program, cancer. org Web site, and our call center, benefit everyone. Regards, Glenn  Where The Money Goes
You can read about where the money goes at: Another document I have seen that is more general is the one below: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The American Cancer Society consists of more than two million Americans united to conquer cancer through balanced programs of research, education, advocacy, and service. The dollars raised from the American Cancer Society Relay For Life are used to provide Hope…for the future, Progress…toward a cure, and Answers…to cancer questions and concerns.
Comprehensive information, around the clock. The Society’s toll-free information line (1-800-ACS-2345) and Website (www.cancer.org) are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offering comprehensive information about cancer and related services that help cancer patients and their families make informed decisions about their care.
Patient Services. To ease the impact of cancer on patients and their families, the American Cancer Society provides service and rehabilitation programs, as well as patient and family education, and support programs. Each program is tailored to meet the needs of your community.
Cancer Research. Research is vital in the fight against cancer because it leads to new treatments, prevention, and cures. The American Cancer Society is the largest source of private, not-for-profit cancer research funds in the country, second only to the federal government. Since, 1946, the Society has invested more than $2.2 billion in cancer research. The American Cancer Society to date has funded 30 Nobel Prize researchers. The Society invests in the future by targeting beginning cancer researchers. Because of research, the relative five-year survival rate for cancer is now up to 60%, and more than eight million cancer survivors are alive today.
Advocacy. Cancer is very much a political issue, and the Society works to make cancer a top priority for lawmakers at the federal, state, and local levels. Some of our most important concerns are smoke-free communities, insurance, protecting cancer survivors from discrimination, and providing access to quality health care.
Cancer Prevention. Primary cancer prevention means taking the necessary precautions to prevent cancer in the first place. Prevention programs are designed to help families make health-enhancing decisions. The Society’s programs focus on: tobacco control, the relationship between diet/physical activity and cancer, promoting comprehensive school health education, and reducing the risk of skin cancer.
Early Detection. For many types of cancer, finding the disease at the earliest, most treatable stage can make the difference between life and death. The American Cancer Society provides guidelines, educates the public and physicians, and is active in advocacy efforts to make screening tests accessible to all.
Hope this helps! Where does the money go brochure needed
