What we need to do is all of us pick a venue, Oprah or whomever, and decide on the best tone, content, etc. to approach them with. THEN as many of us as we can muster, write the three producers there with the pitch. If we all hit the same note, and a hundred emails came to them singing the same tune, the glass might break like in the Memorex commercial..... We are stronger together and united in thought than any one of us is alone.

One of my ideas has been to contact Trump and get him to have a challenge on their apprentice show on raising funds, and doing public good via work with a non-profit like OCF. We would be a great example of how a bunch of MBA's could do good, and at the same time the millions of people that watch the show would get educated on oral cancer. Plus there would be the PR that the show's staff generate to publicize the show. Ellen doesn't do serious subjects. The morning shows (4 of them) all have topics that are less than 5 minutes long, and most less than 3 min long. Not much time to really tell the story. I think a multi-prong approach. A magazine, and I vote for Men's health, and a show, my vote for Oprah..the hardest one in the world to get on, and a reality show The Apprentice.
