The “Unite to Fight Cancer” t-shirt symbolizes the unique relationship between blood donors and cancer patients. Chemotherapy and other cancer treatments have a harsh impact on blood cells. Transfusions of donated blood and blood products are vital to reducing complications and saving lives. The cancer awareness t-shirt is free when you register to donate Wednesday, Oct. 1 through Saturday, Nov. 1 at any CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile blood drives.
The “Unite to Fight Cancer” t-shirt is pink, the international color of breast cancer awareness, and features the slogan “Together We Unite To Fight: It’s In Your Blood.” The design includes six ribbons, each representing a form of cancer. Breast cancer awareness is the central pink ribbon, flanked by the orange and lavender ribbons representing blood cancers. Leukemia and lymphoma patients commonly require blood transfusions during treatment.
CBC/CTS was presenting sponsor of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Dayton Light The Night fundraising walk Oct. 2, 2014 at Kettering’s Fraze Pavilion. CBC/CTS CEO Dr. David Smith served as the 2014 chairman of the Dayton Light The Night executive leadership committee.
CBC is proud to support the fight against breast cancer. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness about the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.
