The Relay for Life of Fillmore-Piru would like to welcome the community to come participate in a series of forums this summer on different patient outreach programs with the American Cancer Society. To show the community how the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life can give back to their local communities. We have already had successful events on June 20th, where Kretta Shaner came out and spoke on the Look Good Feel Better program, as well as on July 25th David Weissman came and spoke on the Road to Recovery Program. The next forum in our series will be happening on August 22nd at 7pm Pam Brady will come and speak on the 24/7 1-800-227-2345 number. These meetings will take place at the youth building next to the memorial building in Fillmore (511 2nd Street, Fillmore CA).

Pam Brady, a Senior Market Manager with Community Engagement for the American Cancer Society, has been working with the American Cancer Society for almost 11 years, and has a lot of passion to see cancer cured. The reason why Pam is so passionate about the American Cancer Society is, “Too many friends and family have been touched by cancer, whether the battles were successfully won or not it has touched too many people and too many lives; and I want to help make the difference to eradicated cancer.”

The American Cancer Society is here to help. We have programs and services in your community to help people with cancer and their families. American Cancer Society offers information, day-to-day help, and emotional support; and our help is free, and at no cost to patients. The American Cancer Society is here to help people with information and resources using 1-800-227-2345 number, which is toll free, and available 24hours a day 7 days a week. Cancer information specialists provide the latest science-based cancer information and referrals. Also the societies web site provides the latest science-based cancer information, clinical trial matching, and event information by visiting cancer.org.
