American Cancer Society
to raise money locally

"If you have cancer, we can help;
If not, you can help." "These are the
slogans provided on the literature
given local chairperson forthe Ameri-
can Cancer Society, Kim Kelsey. In
the next month or so you will be
called upon to give to this worth-
while cause. Please help in any way
you can.
Each year, the American Cancer
Society funds over $8 million in can-
cer research in Texas alone. As the
largest private source of cancer re-
search funds in the United States, its
national grant program has invested
more than &1. 5 billion in research
and provided support to 28 Nobel
Prize winners.
The American Cancer Society sup-
ports hundreds of cancer research
projects across the country. Findings
improve quality of treatment and care
and will one day lead to a cure and
even help identify people who are at
risk of developing the disease.
Volunteers help keep fund-raising
costs for the American Cancer Soci-
ety at only 15 %. The American Insti-
tute on Philanthropy recently rated
the American Cancer Society as the
best charity raising money for cancer
control.
When you support the American
Cancer Society through a current gift
or by including them in your will or
estate, plan, you are making a wise
investment. Before making a contri-
bution to any charitable organiza-
tion, make sure you know about them.
For more information call the Con-
sumer Protection Division of the
Texas Attorney General's Office at
1-800-621-0508.
The American Cancer Society is
here as a source of hope for cancer
patients and their families, providing
services to help them deal with the
diagnosis, treatment and survival of
cancer. These include transportation,
home equipment, support groups,
information and guidance.
Volunteers across the state of Texas
helped reach over 40,000 cancer pa-
tients in Texas this year, providing
needed services, support groups and
visitation programs that give patients
and their families a source of under-
standing and information on how to
deal with the disease.
In Texas, the American Cancer
Society educated thousand on how to
protect themselves from cancer.
School education programs teach
children healthy lifestyles and give
them the tools needed to say no to
tobacco use. Lifesaving powers of
early detection through
Mammography, pap tests and other
methods are promoted.
The organization advocates help-
ing to reduce the likelihood of devel-
oping cancer by avoiding tobacco
products, following proper nutrition
guidelines, exercising regularly and
reducing exposure to the sun. Getting
regular cancer screenings and check-
ups, including clinical breast exami-
nations, mammograms and prostate
exams is the best defense against
cancer. (Also learn how to examine
yourself for cancer using techniques
like monthly breast self exam.)
The efforts of the American Can-
cer Society are visible in communi-
ties across the state that are striving to
improve air quality, youth education
and public health through public
policy and local ordinances.
In the fight against cancer, you can
be a proponent for change by raising
public awareness, writing your legis-
lative representatives and getting in-
volved in local initiatives.
For more information call Mrs.
Kelsey at 632-4168.
