Teens against Cancer is a nationwide club of high school and college students that is affiliated with the American Cancer Society. The MHS chapter was formed in 2005.

Student Coordinators:
Monika Zalewska and Samantha Berger.

Advisor:  Ms. Joyce Kocsis

Membership:
All students, faculty, staff, and parents of students at Monticello High School are welcome to join.

Goals:
• The club is dedicated to the goal of eliminating cancer. We do this by volunteering for the American Cancer Society and supporting the programs of the American Cancer Society. This club has established a relationship with our local chapter American Cancer Society. Our contact person is Tina Eckhert. This partnership will give students access to educational and support materials.

• Establishing advocacy programs

• Promoting Cancer Awareness and prevention

• The club also support students who have lost loved ones to cancer and will give students the opportunity to help cancer patients and their families in our community.

• Raising money through American Cancer Society approved programs and donating all proceeds to the Society.

We meet monthly and hold fund-raising endeavors to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Relay for Life: MHS Teens Against Cancer will be participating in this year's American Cancer Society Relay for Life on June 3-4 at the Grahamsville Fairgrounds.
