Annual Fund
Drive Underway
The Polk County Unit of the
American Cancer Society is
currently conducting its annual
fund drive.
Contributions to the American
Cancer Society (ACS) are used
for research funding, education
in schools and of the public, and
patient support. In 1991, over
one million adults and nearly
600,000 youngsters in North
Carolina were reached through
cancer educations programs.
Education programs for nearly
25,000 physicians, dentists,
nurse and allied health profes
sionals were conducted
throughout North Carolina in
1991.
Support services aid thou
sands of cancer patients each
year through information and
referral, transportation, comfort
items, peer visitation and coun
seling.
Because of the outstanding
number of research institutions
here, North Carolina receives
more than $7 million back each
year from the national pool of
funds. That means that for
every dollar you give, $3 comes
back to North Carolina in the
form of research grants every
year.
"The American Cancer
Society fundraising letters can
be recognized by the Sword of
Hope and are only mailed each
April," explained Cindy Corn-
well, president of the Polk
County Unit.
"Our annual fund drive is our
primary source of support, aug
mented by special events such
as the 1992 Golf Pass and the
Jail-a-Thon. The local unit
docs not canvas door-to-door
for contributions," said Corn
well.
Tax-deductible contributions
can be mailed to P.O. Box 4,
Tryon, N.C. 28782.
