Cancer 101 News

Please volunteer your time to CANCER101 so that we can expand our Ten-Year Planner to help all cancer patients, not just those with breast cancer. Every year, 1.4 million people are diagnosed with cancer. In 2009, and every year thereafter, we hope to give away our planners to at least 200,000 patients and their caregivers. More, if you are able to help. Do you have any free time? Do you have any friends who have free time? What about helping us during your lunch hour by making essential phone calls on behalf of C101? We have several projects that require whatever time or talent you wish to share. You can work from your home, office, or our office. Our volunteer projects include: The cancer center project: We need 20 people to call 20 cancer centers starting 12/15. Grant writers/sponsorships: We need grant writers and people who know how to procure major sponsors. City guides for Los Angeles and San Francisco: Data-enter events, lectures and more. Office support: We need someone to come in and work in our office one day a week or more. Event chairs: We need self-motivated people to help us with our fall event. Online organizer: We need a web developer who will donate her/his time to rebuild this section of our Web site. Join our Online Fundraiser and ask your friends and family to support CANCER101: You also have a chance to win a trip to Athens, Greece on Olympic Airlines or two tickets to American Idol’s 8th elimination round.
