The Cancer Coalition of South Georgia is inviting Lowndes county area healthcare, business and community leaders to learn about the Cancer Coalition's work in the area.  

“Too many of our family members, friends and coworkers are affected by our high rates of cancer,” said Cancer Coalition CEO Diane Fletcher. “We are asking local business and community leaders to join us for lunch and a discussion about fighting cancer and improving lives, right here in our community. We can invest in the people of Valdosta, together!” 

The luncheon will be held on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 from 12:00 - 1:30 PM at the Cotton Corner (101 N. Ashley St.) in Downtown Valdosta. Reservations are required. Those planning to attend should call 229-312-1700 or email [email protected], by Friday, to reserve their seat.

Cancer Coalition Development Manager Melissa Goodin said the Coalition would like to thank local event sponsors: South Georgia Medical Center and Jessie's Eats and Treats. “We are excited about sharing our work with the Lowndes county community and we hope community leaders will share this invitation with others who can help us create a healthier Valdosta!” said Goodin. 

The Cancer Coalition’s theme for the Luncheon for Hope is: You can change the frightening statistics... You can change the face of cancer locally... You can make a difference... Everyone’s voice is important.
