Celebration on the Hill 2006 is an American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network event celebrating cancer survivorship and empowering survivors and others to advocate for laws that will help fight the disease. On September 19-20, 2006, nearly 4,000 American Cancer Society "Celebration Ambassadors" will gather in Washington, DC for Celebration on the Hill 2006—a unique event that will show our country's lawmakers how the American Cancer Society and its sister organization the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network is waging the fight against cancer in communities nationwide.
Organized by the American Cancer Society's sister issue advocacy organization, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, Ambassadors will meet with their members of Congress and let them know that fighting cancer is a priority to their constituents back home.

The goals for Celebration on the Hill 2006 include:

Making cancer a priority with elected officials
Expanding advocacy outreach
Advancing a healthy public policy agenda
Mobilizing the American Cancer Society Cancer Action NetworkSM

First held in 2002, Celebration on the Hill ushered in a new era of building cancer awareness with policymakers everywhere.
