LETTER FROM OUR CHAIR: The American Cancer Society’s Indianapolis Discovery Ball presented by Andy Mohr Automotive Group is a premier event that raises funds for the Society’s mission to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. We invite you to support our efforts to end cancer as we know it, for everyone, by joining us on November 7, 2026 for the Indianapolis Discovery Ball. It is a beautiful evening bringing together business and community leaders to this event. In 2025, the Indianapolis Discovery Ball raised more than $620,000 to help the American Cancer Society continue to fund life-saving research as well as free programs and services for cancer patients and their families in the Indianapolis metro area and across the nation. We know with your participation, we can help end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Thank you for your support!
Every breakthrough in cancer treatment begins with research. Thanks to decades of scientific discovery, cancer death rates have declined significantly, and more people than ever are surviving and thriving after a cancer diagnosis. Yet cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, making continued investment in innovative research critical.
Research funding fuels the discoveries that become tomorrow’s lifesaving treatments. From laboratory breakthroughs to clinical trials, philanthropic support helps researchers explore bold ideas, develop innovative therapies, and bring new hope to patients and families facing cancer.
When you support innovative cancer research, you’re investing in a future where more cancers are prevented, detected earlier, treated more effectively, and ultimately cured.
Learn MoreFor more than 10 decades, the American Cancer Society has been dedicated to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before, but there is still work to be done. Join us, support us, and help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
