Cancer hasn’t stopped and neither has the American Cancer Society. For the first time in history, the Organization’s mission to save lives and reduce cancer mortality rates is at risk from COVID-19. The American Cancer Society needs everyone’s support now more than ever. A way the Miami community can support the Organization is by investing or participating in their 20th Annual Gus Machado Golf Classic set to take place on Friday, November 13th at The Biltmore Hotel Golf Course.

The event will be held under strict COVID-19 safety measures that will ensure the safety and social distance between participants. The event will gather leaders from the Corporate, Financial, Media, and Healthcare Industries who will play to raise much needed funds for the Society’s lifesaving mission.

Sponsors and participants will help the Organization continue its cancer research program, which is in grave danger at the moment. The impact of COVID-19 will reduce ACS’s ability to fund cancer research by 50% in 2020 — their lowest investment this century if current trends continue. Progress cannot be put on hold because of COVID-19. At risk are more and better treatments and discoveries that will improve and save lives.
