Our Chapter

Chapter Highlights

The GenNow Network Alaska chapter brings together members from throughout the state to support the American Cancer Society. Since 2016 we have continued to see growth in our impact and look forward to what is ahead for us.

We are proud of all of the efforts of our chapter, especially our Taps & Apps annual fundraiser.

Erica Schneider moved to Alaska three years ago with her husband, an experience that deepened her appreciation for resilience, connection, and community. She works as an Executive Assistant at KeyBank and is deeply community-driven and volunteer-oriented. While she has not been personally affected by cancer, Erica understands the profound impact it has on families across the country and is committed to supporting efforts that bring awareness, compassion, and hope to those touched by the disease.

Mission

ACS GenNow Network chapters implement mission-centric opportunities for members and supporters to further ACS initiatives.

The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Together are improving the lives of people with cancer and their families as the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

ACS GenNow Network educates members on the mission and vision of the American Cancer Society and integrates these into chapter activities. Chapters are encouraged to provide opportunities to support ACS patient support programs and services and fundraising activities.

Mentorship

ACS GenNow Network members are offered opportunities for professional development and networking with other members and chapters.

We value the opportunity to leverage the strength of our GenNow Network along with our strength as the American Cancer Society in order to help provide members opportunities for professional development through mentorship from other members and/or ACS contacts.

By creating opportunities for members to expand their personal and professional networks within the community, we allow for involvement within the chapter to benefit our members in a variety of ways.

Impact

ACS GenNow Network chapters host unique, memorable events to engage communities in raising funds to help end cancer as we know it, for everyone.

The impact component of our GenNow Network chapters is essential to helping support the life-saving mission of the American Cancer Society. From rooftop cocktail parties to poolside social events, our young professionals host trendy and impactful events to raise funds for the American Cancer Society’s vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
