Strong Texas Showing at Federal Lobby Day
September 25, 2013
Texas's ACS CAN volunteer delegation represented our state well at the 2013 ACS CAN Leadership Summit and Lobby Day. Every Texan in Congress heard from our voluntters about:
- Federal support for cancer research and prevention
- Quality of life legislation
- Fighting tobacco consumption
Thanks to our efforts, we were able to more than double the number of cosponsors for our key quality of life bills. Texas also placed two volunteers among the top ten for fundraising for our Lights of Hope celebration on September 10.
