We can’t thank you enough for your support of Fork Cancer Central Illinois (formerly Farm to Table.) With your help, we are continuing to fund breakthrough research, 24/7 support for cancer patients & ensure access to lifesaving screenings.

As you know, we always strive to make the greatest impact with dollars raised to further the mission of the American Cancer Society. While we are the most comprehensive cancer fighting organization, we also want to continue being the most impactful by being good stewards of donor dollars.

This culinary event, Fork Cancer (also Farm to Table) has been such a fun, unique endeavor of the American Cancer Society and our volunteers here in Decatur over the last three years, however we have made the difficult decision that we will not be able to continue the event in 2026.

We are so grateful for your continued support and hope that we can find additional involvement opportunities of interest for you. We are still committed to fighting cancer, and we know you are too. We want the cancer fighting legacy you’ve helped build to go on. There are still many ways to fight cancer in your community:

· Making Strides Against Breast Cancer – Central Illinois: Sunday, October 12, 2025 at Southwind Park/Erin’s Pavilion in Springfield at 11am. Visit our website at: http://www.makingstrideswalk.org/centralil

· Men Wear Pink of Greater Illinois: Virtual event happening between May – November each year. Opportunity to join us as an ambassador or nominate someone and have him participate as an ambassador. Ambassadors will raise awareness and funds in the fight against breast cancer. Visit our website at: www.menwearpink.org/greateril

· University of Illinois Coaches vs Cancer Dinner and Auction with Coach Brad Underwood: Committee, sponsorship and volunteer opportunities available! Event will be held April 2026. Check out the website at: www.CoachesVsCancerIllinois.com

· Join your neighboring community RFL events:
a. Relay For Life of McLean County (Bloomington) www.relayforlife.org/mcleanil
b. Relay For Life of Effingham County (Effingham) www.relayforlife.org/effinghamil
c. Join Relayers across your state in a virtual Relay For Life: http://relayforlife.org/ilrelayersfightcancer

If you need help locating a new event, have questions about any of the above events, have questions about starting your own fundraiser, or anything else, please reach out to Kate Wilson at [email protected] at 309.253.8395

What IS Men Wear Pink?

It is a virtual campaign consisting of a group of male community leaders from all over Greater Illinois that are committed to helping end breast cancer as we know it. They do this by raising awareness and money to fund innovative breast cancer research; providing education and guidance to help people reduce their risk; and offering comprehensive patient support to those who need it most so that no one faces breast cancer alone.
Would you like to be an ambassador (or nominate someone) for our Men Wear Pink of Greater Illinois campaign? We would love to have you. To learn more, go to: www.menwearpink.org/greateril
