ResearcHERS
At KPMG we believe that small actions can lead to huge impact. As an American Cancer Society Partners Against Cancer participant, KPMG is proud to support the American Cancer Society. Our firm is committed to supporting cancer research, education, advocacy, and services through our corporate contributions and employee giving. We would like to give a special acknowledgement to Robb Soles, Partner, KPMG Chicago, and American Cancer Society of Illinois Board Member who is a champion for Women ReseacHERS. In 2019, he recruited four female community leaders to tackle this initiative and together they have raised $19,767 to support female led research.
One person’s efforts could fund work
that saves countless lives.
One in three Americans will battle cancer in their lifetime.
It can be hard to believe that a single person can make a
difference. But funding just one research breakthrough, or
one study with the right outcome, could potentially save
countless lives. ResearcHERS: Women Fighting Cancer is a
movement that engages women to raise funds to directly
support cancer researchers – women cancer researchers.
Why women researchers?
The American Cancer Society is proud to be a top supporter of
women in cancer research. Currently half of the American Cancer
Society’s grantees are women, most of them early in their careers.
Help raise the funds needed to fuel HER next big discovery.
Women make invaluable contributions to cancer research yet
are underrepresented in research leadership. As the leading
nonprofit funder of cancer research in the US, we can help
sustain women-led cancer research, launch new careers, and
inspire a new generation of young women considering careers in
science. Help us ensure women continue to be a powerful and
growing force to help save lives from all types of cancer.
