SHRED CANCER

“SHRED CANCER” – A Nationwide Shred Event

PROSHRED^® has teamed up with the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) to create the 6th Annual Shred for Cancer Nationwide Shredding Event! More than 30+ PROSHRED^® locations across the country will be running a shredding event during the months of May and June 2019.

Our on-site shredding trucks will be parked in designated areas to collect your unwanted confidential documents available for destruction. At the event, PROSHRED^® employees will be collecting donations from customers coming to shred their paper materials.

All donations collected will go directly to AICR to support cancer research. Based on past PROSHRED^® events, we estimate about 6,000 people nationwide will attend the shredding events.

AICR History

In 1982,  the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) was founded to advance the simple but then-radical idea that cancer could be prevented. Nearly three decades of AICR-funded research on diet, nutrition, physical activity and cancer have helped change how we think about cancer.

We now know that about 1/3 of the most common cancers in the US are preventable and that every individual has the power to reduce his or her cancer risk. Our continuing commitment to funding and interpreting the science has attracted new investigators to this promising and vital field of cancer research.
