2014 Summer Update
Summer Update
Friday, August 1, 2014
We have had a busy summer and are already starting to build momentum for Florida’s next Legislative Session. Your ACS CAN Florida staff has been hard at work laying the foundation to strengthen our grassroots network and make us even more successful in 2015.
New Team Member
We are excited to welcome Natalie Kliné; the newest addition to our ACS CAN Florida team! Natalie is the Grassroots Manager for the South Florida region and will be based in the Miami office. We are confident she will be a wonderful addition to our small but mighty Florida Division crew and we look forward to all of you meeting her in the near future.
Lights of Hope
On September 16th, thousands of cancer advocates from around the nation will gather in Washington, DC for a special Lights of Hope ceremony. We want you and your loved ones to be represented too. For a contribution of just $10, you can dedicate a Light of Hope to someone you love. Their name will be placed on a Lights of Hope bag and displayed around the U.S. Capitol Reflecting Pool. Last year, Florida was among the top divisions for Lights of Hope and we’re hoping to get back to 1st place this year! In order for the Florida Division and/or individual leadership summit and lobby day participants to receive credit for bags collected, information must be entered online by Wednesday, September 3rd. Click here to donate today!
