OK, its now up to 233 reviews. Considering there are 8000+ members, there is a long way to go to get the reviews to add up.
Since April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, this is something everyone can do to help spread the word. By helping OCF get noticed, it brings attention to oral cancer. The public needs to be educated about the importance of yearly screenings and early detection. This saves lives!
PLEASE, all members stop and take 2 or 3 minutes to give OCF a 5 star review.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | Thank you!!! Keep those reviews coming in. Every single one counts and is important. Im hoping to see 500 reviews. With over 8000 members and thousands more who dont register but read the boards this can easily happen if we all participate. If you made a review a couple years ago, its ok to make another one for the 2013 Top Honors. Lets get oral cancer and OCF noticed with the 2013 Top Nonprofits!!!! Great NonProfits OCF Review

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | Looks like April turned out to be a very successful month for 5 star reviews on Great Non Profits for the 2013 top honors campaign. So far OCF has gotten 31 5 star reviews with so many wonderful comments. If you did a review a year ago its ok to do another one. With almost 9000 members there are many more who havent yet given OCF a review. If you feel positive about OCF and OCF has helped you please take just a couple minutes to help OCF. A huge THANK YOU to those who have already given their review, lets keep the momentum going!!! Great NonProfits OCF Review
