HIGHLIGHT: The Light of Life Foundation
On February 10th, 2011 The Light of Life Foundation hosted our 12th Honorary Awards Dinner in New York City.
We were proud to honor Nancy Carrasco, MD from Albert Einstein Medical College for her achievements in Thyroid Cancer research. A dinner was held in her honor and the following morning Dr. Carrasco presented her recent achievements in her research in thyroid cancer at Grand Rounds at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The Light of Life Foundation’s partners, friends, medical advisory board members and past award recipient were in attendance.
The Light of Life Foundation is excited to announce the launch of our 4th Thyroid Cancer Awareness Campaign.
The new campaign will feature striking images of celebrity icons Cindy Crawford and Brooke Shields wearing dramatic necklaces to draw attention to their necks. Through the faces of these celebrities it is our mission to continue to raise awareness and donations. The funds we raise through this amazing celebrity campaign will help us continue our Fellowship Program, provide Patient Support/Education, and make it possible to provide research grants to thyroid cancer physician’s who are helping to improve the quality of lives for thyroid cancer patients. To date, the public service announcements are set to appear in People, More and Gotham Magazines.
Please visit the Light of Life Foundation website, www.checkyourneck.com, to view our Patient Educational Symposium which took place in New York City in 2010.
As part of our Patient Educational Program we have provided valuable information through our website of the symposium in hopes that patients everywhere can gain further information and support about their disease.
There will be other exciting programs throughout the year. Thank you for supporting our efforts by referring your patients to the Light of Life Foundation for support and education.
Sincerely,
Joan Shey
