This last quarter of 2008 OCF has accomplished more in three months than ever before. We have reached more newspaper reporters who have gotten the oral cancer story out there. We have created a new TV PSA with Colleen Zenk Pinter, a new tongue cancer survivor and long time TV actress on As the World Turns, as well as worked to get her on morning talk shows and magazine article that are yet to appear. We have sponsored research in areas where early detection is a focus a three major institutions. I have testified before a congressional sub committee on oral cancer and patient issues. I have lectured at professional scientific symposiums, and to groups like the American Academy of Maxillofacial Prosthetics on the changing demographics of oral cancer. We printed our 750,000 copy of "What you need to know about oral cancer", a waiting room brochure for medical and dental offices. We purchased the software to put up a new more efficient web store for donations and more, due to go live in January (December if I can beg Chester to give up a few weekends.) We have formed an alliance with the Paltrow family to allow us to use Bruce Paltrow's name in a fundraising effort starting soon. I have, as the first non-doctor member of the American Academy of Oral Medicine, edited the first draft of that organization
