2/27/19 UPDATE: Due to the unexpected snowstorm and subsequent power outage, the deadline for submissions has been extended until March 4th to allow for those affected by the storm to submit their nomination.
Nominate those who provide hope for cancer patients
Cancer is not an easy road to travel. Fortunately, there is no shortage of people willing to dedicate their talents, skills and time to making the cancer journey easier through their efforts to heal, support and advocate for patients and their families.
Oregon Cancer Foundation is now accepting nominations for its Wings of Hope Awards, to honor individuals who demonstrate extraordinary caring and compassion to those in our community affected by cancer.
“Cancer touches us all in some way and we all know someone who is extraordinarily compassionate; who gives his/her time freely to help others as they battle cancer,” says OCF executive director Amy Johnston. “It could be a doctor, nurse or medical assistant, or perhaps a friend, sister, brother or neighbor. Each patient I speak with has their own story of someone who has provided unwavering support during their battle with cancer. We want to recognize these beacons of hope in the community and say ‘thank you.’”
If you know an outstanding individual in the health care field or a community member who is making a difference to support cancer survivors in our area, please fill out our nomination form here and tell us more.
All nominations must be submitted by Friday, March 1, 2019.
