Celebration on the Hill 2006 Has Arrived!!
Remember, Hope, Take Action & Celebrate at Home
On September 19 & 20, 2006 10,000 American Cancer Society volunteers and supporters will gather on the National Mall in front of the United States Capitol for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network’s historic Celebration on the Hill.
4,000 Celebration Ambassadors will represent every state and every congressional district in the country; 5,000 American Cancer Society Wall of Hope banners will represent every Relay For Life event in the nation; and the 3 million signatures on those banners will represent every American ever touched by cancer.
If you are among the 3 million Americans who signed a Wall of Hope banner you’re already a part of Celebration on the Hill. But if you want to do more and speak to national leaders about the importance of winning the war on cancer, there are other way you and your community Celebrate and take action at home. Invite others to join you!
The American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network is hosting Celebration on the Hill as a national event for cancer survivors and those touched by cancer to remember those lost to cancer, hope for a cure, take action to encourage Congress to renew our national war on cancer and to celebrate those who have survived.
