The American Cancer Society helps cancer patients to stay well, and is working to find cures. In the fight against cancer, the non-profit's mission is to save lives and create a world without cancer. It functions under the moniker "the official sponsor of birthdays." The Napa unit supports both Napa and Lake Counties. It links patients and survivors to local resourses and programs, such as Cancer Survivors Network and the Cancer Wellness Program, as well as Look Good…Feel Better, a free program that teaches beauty techniques to women undergoing cancer treatment. Each year, the Relay For Life program involves many local businesses in order to raise funding. A percentage of the proceeds goes towards conducting long-term prospective studies.
