In September, 1980 five directors of the Champaign County chapter of the American Cancer Society resigned their positions to form a new cancer agency dedicated to providing service to Champaign County residents. All five directors felt that too little of the money collected from county residents was used to benefit local residents. Because of the dedication and commitment of these five, the Cancer Association of Champaign County was formed.
