Fun to Come This Summer!

Summer is coming fast and we here at Rock Against Cancer are busy bees planning a number of events for the next few months! What's the best thing about summer? The music, of course. We've got the ball rolling on a number of concerts for our "Stars Night Out" program in cities from Raleigh to Indianapolis and beyond. These are our main focus right now as we are hoping to bring smiles to the lips and rhythm to the hips of young cancer patients.

We are gearing up for the 10th annual CureSearch Reach the Day event in Washington, DC. On June 21 and 22 RAC founder Lisa White, Ph.D. and other advocates will present members of Congress with the facts about childhood cancer. We hope to impact childhood cancer legislation and government funding for research. Our representatives will present facts and true stories of those who have battled and continue to battle the disease which is the number one disease-related cause of death for ages one to 20. We welcome any stories you would like to share with us about children who have fought or survived cancer. Please email Dr. Lisa White at lisa@rockagainstcancer.org or me at stpetty1@gmail.com to share stories or talk with us to learn more about what we do and how you can get involved!

Stay posted for more information about CureSearch Reach the Day and our other events throughout the summer.
