Every need within the community is ultimately met by supportive Friends and Funds.

Your gift today will help to inspire change that improves tomorrow for others.

CALENDAR
HEALTH AWARENESS
FEBRUARY IS CANCER PREVENTION MONTH
The federal government estimates that 2 million Americans were diagnosed with cancer (other than non-melanoma skin cancer) during 2024, and that more than 600,000 died from their disease. Research shows that more than 40% of these cases and nearly half of the deaths can be attributed to preventable causes—smoking, excess body weight, physical inactivity, and excessive exposure to the sun, among others.
Cancer risk factors can intersect with other population characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and disability status, among others, to drive cancer disparities. Certain segments of the U.S. population have a disproportionately higher burden of preventable cancer risk factors. Decades of systemic inequities and social injustices have led to adverse differences in drivers of health causing a disproportionately higher burden of cancer risk factors among US racial and ethnic minority groups and medically underserved populations.
This month, empower yourself with knowledge, make proactive choices, and inspire others to do the same. Your future self will thank you.
