Posted on Mar 26 2012
Cancer survivors and those currently undergoing cancer treatment are urged to attend the annual survivor dinner at the 2012 Marianas March Against Cancer on April 27 at 6pm.
MMAC overall committee chair Catherine Attao-Toves said that this year’s dinner will be sponsored again by TakeCare/FHP.
Survivors must register for the event and are allowed to bring a guest. During the free dinner, survivors will be given a unique medallion and a T-shirt commemorating their fight against cancer.
To register, contact survivor committee chair Nora Sablan at 235-0994 to 98 or email norasablan@gmail.com.
Attao-Toves also encouraged community members directly affected by cancer to register with the Commonwealth Cancer Association to keep its cancer database up-to-date.
“Registration with the CCA is voluntary and all information submitted will be kept strictly confidential,” she added.
To register for the cancer database, contact CCA program director Juan L. Babauta at 682-0050 or email jlb6550@yahoo.com.
Meanwhile, luminaries, T-shirts, and raffle tickets are available for sale for those who are not affiliated with any MMAC team at the CCA office along Middle Road in Gualo Rai.
Luminaries, which will be lit throughout the event to commemorate those who have been directly affected by cancer, are sold for only $5 each.
Raffle tickets are also sold at $5 each for a chance to win prizes, including two round trip Economy Class tickets to any U.S. destination plus $300 in travel credit vouchers or a Samsung smartphone with one-year free service.
T-shirts are on sale for just $10 “in honor of the 10th year anniversary of the MMAC.”
To buy any of these items, call 682-0050, email jlb6550@yahoo.com or visit www.ccamarianas.org.
The annual MMAC will take place on April 27 to 28 from 6pm to 6am at the Hopwood Jr. High School field in Chalan Piao.
