Aflac Surpasses $200 Million in Contributions for Childhood Cancer and Sickle Cell Disease
Aflac has surpassed $200 million in contributions to support families affected by childhood cancer and blood disorders, marking a significant milestone after more than three decades of donations. The company has been the primary supporter of the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta since 1995. This achievement was celebrated during National Childhood Cancer and Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month with events including the Aflac Kickoff Game, which aired on ABC Network as part of a philanthropic initiative that has raised over $1.2 million for local communities. Aflac Chairman and CEO Dan Amos highlighted the company's long-standing commitment to this cause, noting contributions from employees and independent sales agents totaling more than $131 million in commissions. The Aflac Childhood Cancer Foundation also awarded 12 grants to Child Life programs nationwide during the month.
