ACS has literally hundreds of events every year. That one would coincide with a date of an OCF event is not anything more than coincidence. The Doc is right, ACS doesn't do anything for OC. That vacuum created a need for OCF. It took three years of talking with them for me to just get them to put up some lousy web pages about our disease on their site, and they don't even update them. Of the millions of dollars they take in from donors each year, they spend nothing on oral cancers. It's all in their mandatory public disclosures.... we just don't fit into their business model of spending their time on the diseases that have the most incidence and the most survivors, that generates the most volunteers and the most donors. It's a good plan for the business that they are. Is it the best model for us? I may sound bitter, but what you are reading is disappointment. This is not going to change.
