Cancer Lobby Day

The American Cancer Society is seeking volunteers from across the state to flood the halls of our state capitol in Hartford at this year's Lobby Day on April 13, 2011. Come and show your support for a concerted effort toward passing vital cancer-related legislation. If you are interested in attending Lobby Day as a cancer patient, caregiver, cancer survivor or advocate, please contact Bryte Johnson at (203) 379-4850 or Bryte.Johnson@cancer.org.

Last year, American Cancer Society volunteers were successful in gaining support from elected officials for important cancer issues. Through advocacy we can change public health policy in an effort to reduce and eliminate cancer incidence and mortality rates due to cancer.
