Officials vs. Cancer Week is Jan. 20-26
Donations to the American Cancer Society are now being accepted as part of the national Officials vs. Cancer campaign. Since 2016, Board 31 members and supporters have donated more than $5,000, donning pink whistles, lanyards and lapel pins during OvC Week to demonstrate our unity in this fight. Please view our team page to donate and track our progress, or see Officials vs. Cancer chair Owen Shanahan at either of the next two meetings.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
