For more than 65 years, the Society has been finding answers that save lives−from changes in lifestyle to new approaches in therapies to improving cancer patients’ quality of life. No single nongovernmental, not-for-profit organization in the US has invested more to find the causes and cures of cancer than the American Cancer Society. Dear Friends, THERE IS HOPE t Your American Cancer Society has spent more than $3.8 billion on cancer research to date. t Major scientific breakthroughs have changed how we think about cancer. The 5-year relative survival rate for all cancers diagnosed between 2002 and 2008 is 68%, up from 49% in 1975-1977. t As of 2009, the overall death rate for cancer in the United States has declined 20% from its peak in 1991, translating to the avoidance of approximately 1.2 million deaths from cancer, 152,900 of these in 2009 alone. CANCER RESEARCH BREAKTHROUGHS THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY HAS BEEN BEHIND NEARLY EVERY RECENT CANCER BREAKTHROUGH, INCLUDING: t Pap smear crusade to detect cervical cancer t Mammography to screen for breast cancer t PSA test for prostate cancer screening t Confirmation of smoking as a cause of lung cancer t Identification of obesity as an increased risk factor for multiple cancer types t Use of small molecule inhibitors such as Gleevec for treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY NOBEL LAUREATES The American Cancer Society is proud of the 46 investigators we supported before they went on to win the Nobel Prize, considered the highest accolade any scientist can receive. This is a tribute to the American Cancer Society Research Program and the strength of its peer-review process. The Great West Division is honored to be home to four of these Nobel Laureates: t 1989 - Thomas R. Cech, PhD for the discovery of catalytic properties of RNA; Colorado t 1990 - E. Donnall Thomas, MD, the father of bone marrow transplantation; Washington t 2001 - Leland H. Hartwell, PhD for his discoveries of key regulators of the cell cycle; Washington t 2007 - Mario R. Capecchi, PhD for discoveries that led to a technology known as gene testing; Utah THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE! I’m thrilled to welcome you to the American Cancer Society Hope Invitational golf tournament. On behalf of the American Cancer Society (ACS) and Unum, I am honored and privileged to serve as the Executive Chair for this distinguished event. Almost 5 years ago, my father lost his battle to cancer at the age of 64. Seeing the impact firsthand that cancer can have on a loved one, I am committed to doing everything possible to help ACS’s mission to help finish the fight against cancer! In addition, I’m fortunate to work for a company that is a proud sponsor of ACS and is focused on education and prevention for our employees, policyholders and their loved ones. While last year marked the 100th Birthday for ACS, this year is also special as it marks the 10th Anniversary of the Hope Invitational. We are excited to continue what has always been a “best in class” event here in Colorado. Through your sponsorships, you enable the American Cancer Society to pursue its goal of $175,000 for the Hope Invitational. The goal I love the most, however, is ACS wanting to be an organization that someday is “out of business,” once the fight to eliminate cancer has been won and millions of lives have been saved! The 2015 Hope Invitational will once again be held at one of Colorado’s premier golf venues, Colorado Golf Club in Parker. As the site of the 2010 Senior PGA Championship and 2013 Solheim Cup, this venue assures a first class experience for our sponsors and their guests. I’ll never forget my first Hope Invitational three years ago! Please join Unum and me at this year’s Hope Invitational. It is sure to be a great day for a wonderful cause. In partnership with ACS, we will continue to work relentlessly to save lives and create a world with less cancer. Together, we help people stay well and get well, find cures, and fight back against cancer.

Our guests learned how we “tee it up” and fight cancer in a significant way. This year, help us work to “finish the fight” and save even more lives. As the official sponsor of birthdays, we are working hard to help everyone celebrate more birthdays. The new Ladies Hope Golf Committee is planning this exceptional day of golf for women only at the beautiful Colorado Golf Club! There will be two different 9-hole rounds – one in the morning and one in the afternoon. A golf clinic will be available for all golfers as well as a great lunch and program at the club. Join the Lunch Bunch and participate in the clinic and luncheon only if you like. After our round (or clinic depending on the schedule you select), everyone will return to the clubhouse for awards, have the opportunity to learn more about the American Cancer Society, our programs and resources, and connect with others. A main goal of this event will be to raise awareness for women’s cancer issues. Speakers may include researchers, local survivors and others from the Denver community passionate to find a cure.
