- The costs of cancer are staggering. That’s why it’s vital for us to support the work of Salene Jones, PhD, MA, LP, at Fred Hutch. “My hope is that no one will ever experience money problems because of a cancer diagnosis. To accomplish this goal, we are studying how to improve insurance coverage and job support for people with cancer.” Thank you, Dr. Jones, for pioneering research that can bring relief to so many! 👏
- We’re excited to highlight Danny Dwyer, a fantastic ambassador for our Men Wear Pink of Portland campaign! 👏 Men Wear Pink is about more than just wearing pink. It’s a distinguished group of community leaders uniting behind our mission to save more lives from breast cancer through fundraising and awareness. As someone with a personal connection to breast cancer, Danny embodies this mission. He says, “I’ve been a proud Men Wear Pink Ambassador for 10+ years in honor of my mother and friends who have been taken too early because of breast cancer. I promised them I would do whatever it took to help defeat cancer, to support them and others.” Thank you, Danny, for being a beacon of hope and making an impact! 🎗️ Want to support Danny and his fellow ambassadors?

FlowPlay has raised nearly $700,000 to support the American Cancer Society through previous in-game campaigns and is honored to contribute directly to ACS’s efforts to support research and patient support dedicated to childhood cancer. For children and families, a pediatric cancer diagnosis often means hospital stays and procedures that can seem overwhelming, frightening, and, at times, painful. In 2023, the American Cancer Society (ACS) launched ACS PAWS (Pups Assisting with Support), an initiative aimed at increasing animal-assisted therapy for children with cancer, and their families. ACS PAWS is one of the many ways in which ACS supports patients and their caregivers. Visithttps://lnkd.in/e375TGZx to learn more.#ACSPAWS
