Participate in a Cancer Research Study-3 (CPS-3) The American Cancer Society’s Epidemiology Research Program is inviting men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 years who have no personal history of cancer to join this historic research study. The ultimate goal is to enroll at least 300,000 adults from various racial and ethnic backgrounds from across the US. CPS-3 is a grassroots effort where local communities from across the country can support cancer research not just through fundraising efforts, but also by participating actively in this historic research study.
Check out the CPS-3 Fall Schedule: CPS3 Farmville.org, CPS Chesterfield.org, CPS3 Petersburg.org and CPS3 SouthsideVa.org
The American Cancer Society is the official sponsor of birthdays.
