Goal $1,000
At the same time that the volunteer researchers are preparing to enlist participants in Cancer Prevention Study II, other local volunteers are mounting a last ditch effort to reach the “fair share" goal set for Rappahannock in the annual cancer fund drive held in April. According to Helen Snead, president of the Rappahannock unit, that goal is still almost $1,000 away.
The money collected in the fund drive goes to pay for research like the study project as well as for laboratory research aimed at finding a cure for the disease. But even of greater importance to local people, the money also comes back to the county unit to use for cancer detection clinics, cancer awareness programs, a loan closet of materials and equipment made available to cancer patients, assistance in arranging transportation to treatment for cancer patients and a list of other projects.
Although the fund drive officially ended in the last of April, the Rappahannock unit is still accepting donations, hoping to meet this year’s goal. Checks made out to the Cancer Society may be mailed to the local unit in care of Helen Snead in Washington. Virginia. Contributions may also be given to any member of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society.
