April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month.

Throughout the month of April, we have partnered with cancer centers and dental offices across the country to educate people about oral cancer as well as the importance of opportunistic screenings. These participating facilities will be offering free oral cancer screenings during the week of April 12-18th. You can find out more information and see the complete list of participating centers, here:

Join us by showing your support during April and all year long, by wearing the official oral cancer awareness wristband. It�s yours FREE with an online donation! A couple minutes on line is all it takes.

Be sure to make your tax-deductible online donation by May 1st in order to receive OCF�s awareness wristband.

Please join us in honoring those who courageously fight oral cancer. Together, we can spread the word of the need of opportunistic annual screenings, so together we can reduce the death rate. Remember, OCF cannot accomplish this alone. Your active participation is what will make the difference. Help OCF make oral cancer HISTORY today!

Thank you for your continued support!! [img:right]http://i43.tinypic.com/2vwhc0m.jpg[/img]
