Supporting the American Cancer Society and giving back has long been a guiding principle for the Shedlin family. For more than 20 years, the Allan Shedlin Memorial Golf Classic has reflected their deep commitment to the Society’s mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. Since its founding, the event has raised over $11 million to advance the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving work to end cancer as we know it—for everyone.
Each year, the Classic collaborates with leading financial firms to recognize an industry philanthropist, honoring the legacy of Allan Shedlin, who served as a dedicated ambassador for the American Cancer Society for 32 years.

As the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, discovery, and patient support, the American Cancer Society has made significant contributions to the fight against cancer over the last 110 years. We advocate for lifesaving policy changes, promote healthy lifestyles to help prevent cancer, and provide information, answers, and support to people in every community who have been touched by cancer. We also research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatment.
Yet, there is still work to be done – which is why we are so glad you have joined us tonight! The American Cancer Society continues to work tirelessly to fund research and provide support for all types of cancer. And thanks to your generous support, we work to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Every cancer. Every life.
