In 1998, Gus Machado founded the Gus Machado Classic Charity Golf Tournament benefiting the American Cancer Society. He took his passion and love for golf and turned it in to generosity. With every year that passed, this tournament became more and more successful. His commitment and dedication to the American Cancer Society touched so many lives and made an invaluable impact in the fight against cancer. 

As the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, discovery, and patient support, the American Cancer Society has made significant contributions to the fight against cancer over the last 110 years. We advocate for lifesaving policy changes, promote healthy lifestyles to help prevent cancer, and provide information, answers, and support to people in every community who have been touched by cancer. We also research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatment.

Yet, there is still work to be done – which is why we are so glad you have joined us tonight! The American Cancer Society continues to work tirelessly to fund research and provide support for all types of cancer. And thanks to your generous support, we work to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

Every cancer. Every life.
