Courage Award Nominees Needed

WILTON — The American Cancer Society is currently seeking nominees to be considered for its Courage Award, recognizing an outstanding individual who exemplifies the society’s mission: to eliminate cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy and service.

The Courage Award recognizes a cancer patient who serves as a role model due to his or her personal strength and courage in combating cancer and the multitude of issues surrounding the disease. The recipient of this award will be honored at the southwestern Connecticut regions’s annual recognition dinner on September 11 at the Amber Room in Danbury.

The deadline for nominations is August 30. For more information or nomination forms, contact Lynne T. Menon at the American Cancer Society, 203-563-0740, extension 229.
