The time to act is now
Every year, over 9 million people die from cancer with over half of these deaths occurring in some of the least developed parts of the world. A lack of access to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care means that many people are dying unnecessarily. Without urgent action, deaths from cancer are expected to rise to 13 million within the next decade.
As COVID-19 disrupts and delays essential cancer services around the world, this will only add to the growing cancer burden and place a further strain on individuals, families, communities and health systems.
However, we all have the power to make a difference. Though raising your voice and calling on governments to support and fund prevention, detection and treatment programmes in every country for everyone, you can help to save millions of lives.
Your money will help support the fight against cancer
Funds raised from the World Cancer Day Solidarity Challenge will benefit the Union for International Cancer Control in supporting the global cancer community.
With close to 1,200 member organisations in almost every country in the world, UICC unites and strengthens the voices of the international cancer community, ensures cancer remains a priority on the global health agenda, and through opportunities like training and fellowships, gives cancer professionals the best chance of doing a better job tomorrow than they already do today.

FOR SALESFORCE EMPLOYEES ...
Can the World Cancer Day
Solidarity Challenge count toward my VTO goals?
Yes,
your fundraising time for UICC.org and #WorldCancerDay can be
counted for VTO *provided you remember to do so in Volunteerforce.
FOR PLEDGE 1% COMPANIES ...
Will my company match
donations that I make to Ohana riding teams?
That depends on your company's specific policies and
processes. Most PLEDGE 1% companies do.
For example,
Salesforce.com has a standing policy that supports the matching of
employee donations to 501c3 charitable/nonprofit organizations up
to a certain limit. Employees just need to submit a verified
donation receipt and Salesforce will issue a matching donation
directly to the nonprofit. Again, certain rules and limits apply.
It is best to check with your company in advance. All that
considered, matching donations are a key way for us all to support
the global fight against cancer. Please be sure to make this part
of your team and fundraising strategy.
ABOUT DONATIONS ...
What if I am in another
country and my donors don't use U.S. currency?
NO
PROBLEM! While TEAM SALESFORCE OHANA will track overall team and
rider progress in U.S. dollars, your donors can select and make
donations in their local currencies using your team fundraising site.
What is the 501(c)3 Tax Identification Number for Union of International Cancer Control (UICC.org)?
UICC.org's EIN is 23-7208844
