In addition, ACS CAN asked candidates running for state offices in California and New Mexico to decline tobacco contributions; federal candidates in California were also asked whether they would oppose cuts to Medicaid. Volunteers held in-person meetings with staff and candidates in five different races to discuss ACS CAN priorities and the Cancer Votes program that educates the public, including candidates, about the actions lawmakers should take to make fighting cancer a national priority. ACS CAN sponsored nine candidate debates and forums, and volunteers attended public events to ask candidates to go on record about cancer issues; they also reached out to the candidates via social media to ask them their positions on these issues. Volunteers also canvassed and mailed voter guides in targeted areas. ACS CAN does not expressly advocate for the election or defeat of CANDIDATES. 0 573092 413377 159715 483087 370674 112413 7725 1029 6696 278824 DUE FROM AFFILIATES 1138461 OTHER DEPOSITS 319361 OTHER RECEIVABLES 153015 1610837 0 DUE TO AFFILIATES 885356 885356 41705534 3757513 3757513 37948021 37948021 38826777 3757513 3757513 35069264 35069264 POLICY EVENT 1542737 1416957 125780 55860 56586 13335 LIGHTS OF HOPE 332725 283075 49650 18034 38 426486 314691 111795 25636 9709 5500 102565 2301948 2014723 287225 81496 84329 5500 115900 287225 true LUNGEVITY FOUNDATION 228 S WABASH AVE 700 CHICAGO IL 60604 364433410 501(c)(3) 27500 CHANGE OUTCOME OF LUNG CANCER THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE U OF WI 21 N PARK ST STE 6401 MADISON WI 53715 396006492 501(c)(3) 139421 UPDATE MTHDLGY TO EVAL US PAIN THE HEALTH INITIATIVE 1520 DEKALB AVENUE ATLANTA GA 30307 582271500 501(C)(3) 71900 TOBACCO ADVOCACY SAN ANTONIO COUNCIL ON ALCOHOL & DRUG ABUSE 7500 HWY 90 DAVE COY BLDG STE 201 SAN ANTONIO TX 78227 741340188 501(C)(3) 30000 TOBACCO ADVOCACY AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION 3311 RDU CENTER DRIVE SUITE 100 MORRISVILLE NC 25760 135613797 501(C)(3) 15000 CANCER RESEARCH PREVENTION 5 0 DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION'S PROCEDURE FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANTS SCHEDULE I, PART I, LINE 2 THE GRANT AGREEMENT REQUIRES NARRATIVE AND FINANCIAL REPORTS TO BE FURNISHED BY GRANTEE TO ACS CAN WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE COMPLETION OF GRANTEE'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
