Newsletter: March 2009
As March 8th marks International Women's Day, this is the hour to shape the times in which we live into "The Century of the Woman and The Years of Enlightenment." We women are amazing creatures and, when empowered with knowledge, are unstoppable! So, join me in celebrating and honoring the women in our lives by sending a gift of love from Cancer Schmancer today.

at the EIF Revlon/Run Walk
Did you know that this year alone, nearly 69,000 women will lose their lives to a women's cancer? This May, the Cancer Schmancer Foundation will be a proud beneficiary of funds raised through the annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women in both New York and Los Angeles. Over the past 11 years, the Run/Walks (LA/NY) have raised over $50 million for cancer research, counseling, and outreach programs.
