Nationwide Community Fundraising Leadership Team

SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION – STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO ON YOUR 2025 NCFLT!

 

 

 

The Nationwide Community Fundraising Leadership Team (NCFLT) was created in 2020, merging volunteer leadership from all of the major community fundraising properties into a cohesive team in the fight against cancer. The NCFLT works to represent and support community fundraising for Relay For Life, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, DetermiNation, and other community fundraising initiatives for the American Cancer Society. The team is responsible for creating and driving national and regional strategy for these major funders of the Society’s life-saving work.
