Your participation in the ACS 2026 Voices of Impact: Advancing Care Together in Santa Barbara supports efforts to expand cancer prevention and early detection by fueling local programs, strategic partnerships, and innovative solutions that reduce cancer disparities and bring life-saving resources to our Central Coast communities.

While we serve all communities and industries, we are taking steps to address the unique needs of sectors like agriculture and construction, as well as the needs of rural communities where cancer care gaps have been most pronounced.

These represent some of our largest workforces, and by addressing barriers such as limited access to screenings, transportation challenges, and health literacy, we’re ensuring that cancer care is within reach for all. At the same time, we’re proud to fund cancer research at UCSB, advancing groundbreaking work that will directly impact our local communities and help shape a healthier, cancer-free future for the entire region.
