On behalf of everyone at Beat Cancer Family Foundation, Iโd like to wish you a ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐ซ!
2019 was a ๐๐๐ year for BCFF โ We celebrated our 20th anniversary as a foundation in July, developed and implemented our Vaping and E-cigarette programing, introduced elementary cancer education, and reached over 16,000 students with our message around cancer prevention, early detection, and the importance of being body aware. To better articulate our message, in December we announced our recent name change to Beat Cancer Family Foundation. I am ๐ถ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐น๐ proud of all that we achieved in what was an epic year for our organization.
Rest assured, 2020 will be another important year for our foundation as we amplify our message of education on all cancers through our classroom programing, updated name, social media channels, monthly newsletters, and our overall community offerings. Every month you can look forward to education on a specific cancer awareness for that month. Make no mistake; ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.

Our New Yearโs wish is that you join our journey by learning, educating, and making ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ฌ changes over the upcoming year. The truth is, we can do everything right and still get a cancer diagnosis. By leading a healthy lifestyle, getting your cancer screenings, and knowing the signs and symptoms to look for, you can position yourself to fight cancer to the best of your ability; and in some cases, beat it! ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ ๐ก๐ฒ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ, ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ!
