BREAKING NEWS!!!
Mesothelioma Awareness Day 2010
-- Join the Meso Foundation on
September 26 in
New York City for a taping of the Today Show
This year's
Mesothelioma Awareness Day is promising to be the biggest and most
impactful yet! With a National Mesothelioma Awareness Day bill close
to passing, and along with all of your events, proclamations and
radio play requests, this year, mesothelioma will also be
prominently featured on a 14x6-foot banner in the heart of New York
City.
We are excited
to announce that EHE International has generously donated the 10
Rockefeller Plaza display window for the entire month of
September, and the Meso Foundation will utilize the space to promote
awareness of mesothelioma during this important month. We expect
this banner (and the video which will fit in the grey area of the
banner) to reach thousands of New Yorkers and visitors.
To maximize
this incredible opportunity, please join the Meso Foundation in New
York City on September 26th for the taping of the Sunday edition of
the Today Show. As it is customary for spectators of the Today
Show, we encourage you to create your own attention-getting and
informational Meso Awareness Day sign. Feel free to contact us if
you need any help or to brainstorm any ideas.
Stay tuned for more information in the next
few weeks, and in the meantime, please contact Danelle Mangone at
(703) 879-3823 or dmangone@curemeso.org with
any questions.
