| During the month of July, GreatScoop, Guidestar, and Planet Cancer are running the 2009 Cancer Fighters Awards, to identify the top-rated cancer fighting organizations in the country. Nonprofits with the most positive reviews in their category will be announced as winners and receive media coverage. Awards will be given out of 8 categories (5 geographic US regions and 3 budget size- small, medium, and large). The contest deadline is July 31st. I sure you all can agree that The Oral Cancer Foundation does a lot within the oral cancer world. Receiving recognition of our impact and earning this award would be a huge deal for OCF. With that said, if you agree we can surely use your help! Click on the link below to write a review on our foundation. Your review will help others learn about OCF. The most helpful reviews speak from your personal experience. You can best help others understand your experience by providing details of your story and specific examples. http://greatnonprofits.org/reviews/write/1481157Thank you for your help and please feel free to pass this message on to others!

| I would like to sincerely thank those of you who posted a review. As I read your kind and heartfelt words my eyes began to water. It truly means the world to us to hear that the foundation impacted your life in such a positive way, after-all that is what we strive for everyday. Thank you very very much.

With 6000+ members of OCF and countless others who read this but havent joined, OCF should hopefully get lots of reviews.
COME ON GUYS.......If OCF has ever helped you at all, return the favor and take a few minutes to help OCF.

Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,082 | EIGHT PEOPLE OUT OF 6000. Yes, so far only 8 reviews (counting mine) Kudos to Cookey, susanspeaks, clroser, davidcpa, pandora99,RBCV and janabus10 for taking the time to fill out this rating. I used to spend a lot of time on Trip Advisor and this site aims to do the same thing for non profit organizations. Can't think of what to post or write? Just click on this link to see what we all have written for ideas. You can even just type in "I agree with DavidCPA's review" (us guys have to stick together on this female dominated board). OCF reviews on Great NonProfits It looks daunting at first but it is easy. bonus: never before seen picture of me right after my tongue surgery showing off my forearm flap scar in the hospital as part of my review. Thanks Donna (Pandora99) for the idea of including the photo. DO IT THIS WEEKEND. PS. Megan: why is the "needs" section for OCF information BLANK and EMPTY. I suggest going in and updating: Donations and memberships Charm
