Sorry to have moved the site but it wasn't working very well for me, so here's the temporary site until I can find a better one.
I'll be keeping this page filled with updates about ACSY. So far, there really aren't any, but Relay for Life is set for September 27th so start getting your sleeping bags ready folks. Here's the website to sign up for the upcoming Glendale Relay for Life. Please join one of the Hoover High Tornadoes teams.

From the Founder
Dear Visitor,
Cancer, like most diseases, can victimize a patient and their family. However, unlike most diseases, cancer effects more lives in a year and has affected more communities across the United States than any recent epidemic.
The American Cancer Society Youth (ACSY) was founded at Hoover High School to introduce students to community work through the American Cancer Society (ACS) and help community members overcome the plight of cancer. We heavily rely upon donations from our community and the work done by the student body of Hoover High School to accomplish our mission of community support toward a cancer free world.
As founder of ACSY at Hoover, I have faced the effects cancer had on my family. When my uncle passed away from cancer four months after my grandfather had passed away from cancer, I had no one to turn to. Each member of my family was affected by the ordeal and was mourning the loss on their own. I did not know how to heal on my own.
After four years of grief, I joined the American Cancer Society and its efforts to raise funds at the Relay for Life. These funds go toward cancer research, programs for patients and their families, and scholarships for young survivors.
After pouring all my energy into organizing a team for Hoover High School in this event, the day of the relay I found a group of students I could turn to and help to overcome the effect this disease has had on us and our families.
Since then, every year our numbers grow. More students join our efforts and more money is raised for ACS. I am very proud of all the students who have been a part of ACSY and the leaders who have made all the community work possible.
I encourage all the students of Hoover High School to join ACSY and experience the profound feeling of giving back.
Sincerely,
Nairi Hartooni
