Worldwide NET Cancer Awareness Day
A flag has flown at the US Capitol on November 10th in honor of NET Cancer Day, NET cancer patients and CCAN for the past two years. CCAN is proud to be a part of this worldwide effort!
NET Cancer Awareness Month
In response to our requests, New York State has declared November 'Carcinoid/NET Cancer Awareness Month' each year since 2006.Several CCAN-sponsored awareness and fundraising events were held in celebration of Carcinoid / NET Cancer Month. While this year's events were definitely impacted by Hurricane Sandy, it was great to see so many people still there to support the cause. On November 3rd over 200 people walked in support of NET cancer patients at our 4th Annual 'Strides for Stripes Zebra Walk.' It was an exciting day! After walking everyone enjoyed a free show with the band 'Undercover.' and ate a delicious lunch of heros, snacks and apples. Each walker received a tee shirt, bottled water, snack bars, and hand warmers and a raffle ticket for a chance to win a 3 foot tall stuffed zebra. Depending on the amount raised walkers could win prizes ranging for car magnets, small stuffed zebras, even tickets to our Annual Gala.
The 9th Annual 'Celebration of Life' gala was held on November 10th. There were close to 200 people there for a night full of giving- as well as great food, music, dancing and prizes. Prizes included broadway shows, concert tickets, hotel stays, a zebra tv, lottery tree, fire pits, sports memorabilia and many beautiful and unique gift baskets.
CCAN assisted at 3 regional conferences & the annual NANETs Symposium
CCAN has supported The North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society since 2006. CCAN has been a NANETS member since 2007 and on the advisory board since 2009.
Looking to the Future
NET Patients Have Events in Several Regions to Choose From In 2013 CCAN will sponsor several meetings including a meeting in San Francisco and a cruise in April. At least 3 regional conferences are in the works- April 6, 2013 in Downtown New York City, DTA in Rochester, MI and September 21, 2013 in Orlando, FL.
