TAMPA, Fla., May 9 --
The Cancer Research Alliance, an
organization comprised of 12 of the nation's best cancer centers including
Moffitt Cancer Center, is asking all 303 million Americans to exercise their
power over cancer by stepping up and donating $1 to cancer research efforts
this Mother's Day through Father's Day.
The campaign, dubbed the "Infinite Power of One(TM)" campaign has two key
goals: to activate Americans everywhere to take matters into their own hands,
join together and exercise their collective power over cancer, and second, to
raise much needed dollars to accelerate innovative cancer research at the
participating cancer centers.
The public can join the "Infinite Power of One(TM)" campaign by visiting
the campaign's sponsor, www.celebrations.com from May 11 through June 15 to
donate. After donating, each person will be asked to add his or her own photo
to the "Infinite Power of One" Healing Mosaic to celebrate the infinite power
that one person and one dollar can make on our health. Proceeds will benefit
cancer research at all member cancer centers.
Located in Tampa, Florida, Moffitt Cancer Center (www.moffitt.org) is the
only Florida-based cancer center with the NCI designation as a Comprehensive
Cancer Center for its excellence in research and contributions to clinical
trials, prevention and cancer control. Moffitt currently has 15 affiliates in
Florida, one in Georgia and two in Puerto Rico. Additionally, Moffitt is a
member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, a prestigious alliance of
the country's leading cancer centers, and is listed in U.S. News & World
Report as one of "America's Best Hospitals" for cancer, as well as for ear,
nose and throat. Moffitt's sole mission is to contribute to the prevention and
cure of cancer.
