The Young Professionals is a
committee within the American Cancer Society. Our committee has
its own fundraising activities and its own socials. However,
within the Young Professionals is a committee called LINK. LINK
members connect the skills and assistance of the Young Professionals
with the volunteer needs of the American Cancer Society and the
community. Relay for Life,
Making Strides,
and the Great
American Smoke Out are
a few events that the Young Professionals support with time,
participation, and advertising. Pictures of the Young Professionals at Relay for
Life! We also have opportunities to meet with lawmakers to help
pass legislation (see Grass Roots below).
In addition to the events, LINK
is also involved with training volunteers to become spokespersons to
go into schools
and educate the students about:
- The of the dangers of
smoking
- Early detection of cancer
- Cancer prevention
Next Events:
Relay for Life at Mason High School on
June 4th and 5th. Contact Traci Combs (Contact info below)if you
want to help volunteer or organize a team.
