Our Chapter

Chapter Highlights

The GenNow Network Seattle, WA chapter brings together members from the community to support the American Cancer Society. Since 2019 we have continued to see growth in our impact and look forward to what is ahead for us.

We are proud of all the efforts of our chapter, especially with hosting our 4th annual signature event, Fork Cancer event, that brings together community leaders, partners and volunteers to raise funds to support our mission.

Interested in Becoming a Member?

I joined GenNOWin October 2022, and starting in 2023, I joined the Membership Committee as Lead of Volunteerism, so I love going to ACS events with other GenNOW volunteers! I joined GenNOW, because my family was also impacted by cancer, and like all of you, I want to see it gone for good.

Outside of GenNOW, I live in Seattle and work at Proliance Surgeons Group. A fun fact about me is that while I grew up in the Seattle area, but I have also lived in the New Orleans, Chicago, and DC metropolitan areas, so if you have any connections to any of those places, come chat with me!

I joined GenNOW in early 2026, inspired by my mom, Bobbi, who was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer when I was 19. After losing my mom in 2021, I wanted to help create a future where fewer families experience the devastating impact of cancer. I was especially passionate about expanding cancer screening, prevention, and clinical research.

Outside of GenNOW, I live in Seattle and work in neonatal research at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Before moving to Seattle, I conducted radiation oncology research at the Mayo Clinic, working with pediatric and adult brain tumors. I am proud to support the American Cancer Society’s work and help improve the lives of people facing cancer and their families.

Mission

ACS GenNow Network chapters implement mission-centric opportunities for members and supporters to further ACS initiatives.

The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Together are improving the lives of people with cancer and their families as the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

ACS GenNow Network educates members on the mission and vision of the American Cancer Society and integrates these into chapter activities. Chapters are encouraged to provide opportunities to support ACS patient support programs and services and fundraising activities (participate in other fundraising events, serve as program volunteers, etc.)

Mentorship

ACS GenNow Network members are offered opportunities for professional development and networking with other members and chapters.

We value the opportunity to leverage the strength of our GenNow Network along with our strength as the American Cancer Society in order to help provide members opportunities for professional development through mentorship from other members and/or ACS contacts.

By creating opportunities for members to expand their personal and professional networks within the community, we allow for involvement within the chapter to benefit our members in a variety of ways.

Impact

ACS GenNow Network chapters host unique, memorable events to engage communities in raising funds to help end cancer as we know it, for everyone.

The impact component of our GenNow Network chapters is essential to helping support the life-saving mission of the American Cancer Society. From rooftop cocktail parties to poolside social events, our young professionals host trendy and impactful events to raise funds for the American Cancer Society’s vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
