Al Copeland Foundation

The Al Copeland Foundation’s (ACF) strategic pillars support our vision of saving lives and ending cancer. With a framework of operational effectiveness, we strive to pursue expansive funding, partnerships with local organizations, increased awareness and advocacy, and the development of programs and events to spread educational resources.

Brand Statement

Because where you live shouldn’t determine what type of cancer treatment you can receive. Because what you earn shouldn’t decide whether treatment is possible. Because a diagnosis shouldn’t turn into a fight for access.
