DIG DEEP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER
Join us and the Las Vegas construction industry for a unique fundraising event that puts kids in the operator’s seat of construction equipment! This event benefits the American Cancer Society and provides a festive, carnival-like atmosphere amongst construction equipment and funds childhood cancer research and services.

LeadershipAfter accidents, cancer is the second leading cause of death in children ages 1 to 14. Because of major treatment advances in recent decades, 85% of children with cancer now survive 5 years or more. Still, survival rates can vary a great deal depending on the type of cancer and other factors. The American Cancer Society uses a comprehensive approach to working to end childhood cancer as we know it, for everyone, by leveraging our unique strengths in funding the best research; publishing the most current trends in childhood cancer occurrence and survival; providing information on symptoms, early detection, treatment and support for children with cancer and their families; and working to improve the quality of life for childhood cancer patients and survivors.
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.
