mms4you Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 My girlscout troop is currently working on their silver award which is promoting lung cancer awareness in the community through a "Daddy"/daughter dance. Their audience is young girls in our community. Does anyone have any suggestions where we can locate fun promotional items (bracelets, etc)that are either very inexpensive or could be donated. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you Michelle Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mms4you Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi Katie, I'm located in Cypress TX - outskirts of Houston. My father recently passed from lung cancer and I'm proud that my daughter and troop want to stop their younger friends from going down a dangerous path. We do not have a lot of money to get started, so I'll pass them any info you can give us. Thanks so much! Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mms4you Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Our dance is around the corner. We have been working hard on so many aspects we are behind in our cancer materials. Any ideas on where we can get informational phamplets cheap/free and quickly? Thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat127 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm not sure if this is close to what you are thinking - but I think if you contact some of the drug companies that make lung cancer drugs, they may have some things they could send you. To name a few: Alimta = Eli Lilly http://www.lilly.com/ Tarceva = OSI/Genetech http://www.gene.com/gene/index.jsp http://www.osip.com/ Carboplatin is generic but the original drug is by BMS http://www.bms.com/landing/data/index.html Taxol - BMS also makes that Years ago I got a lot of things from drug companies for 'goody bags' for a relay for life event. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mms4you Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Katie, You helped me greatly when I first got on this site -I'm in Houston and we talked about possible bracelets or something fun for the little girls, I use to live in Keller. My in-laws are in colleyville - so if you have phamplets or anything they could get them for me. I'm sorry I haven't gotten back with you. I can't find your personal email and like I said, we were so overwhelmed with dance money & specifics, we dropped the ball on the important stuff. Hope you remember me! Sorry for not staying on top of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
