PRESS RELEASE: Cancer has Cancer new program-PINCHE CANCER
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Dallas, Texas, March 19, 2013
The Cancer has Cancer Foundation is on a crusade to raise cancer awareness about all types of cancers. We feel there is great need in the Hispanic community to educate people and raise cancer awareness. We hope this will lead to an increase in early detection, which has been proven to increase the survival rate for all types of cancers.
Our mission is to raise awareness and promote education about all types of cancer, to provide emotional, financial and spiritual support, resources, a place to connect and share with others, and to raise funds that specifically go to molecular cancer research, which is exploring new cancer innovations.
Our goal is not only raise awareness and to educate the Hispanic community, but also to effectively support those who are diagnosed with and affected by cancer. Promoting cancer prevention steps and how to obtain information about cancer is becoming even more critical because the Hispanic community is the fastest growing minority group in the U.S. By 2050, approximately 30% of all Americans will be Hispanic, which means that more and more new cancer patients will be Hispanic."
Overall, about 1 in 2 Hispanic men and 1 in 3 Hispanic women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. The lifetime probability of dying from cancer is 1 in 5 for Hispanic men and 1 in 6 for Hispanic women. Cancer is the leading cause of death among Hispanics, accounting for 21% of deaths overall and 15% of deaths in children 1 in 3 Hispanics will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime. According the Hispanic Cancer Statistics released in September of 2012, "Hispanics have lower cancer screening rates; are diagnosed with cancer at later stages."
We want to change that by educating the general population in the Latino community and by joining forces with Hispanic leadership to make an impact.
One way we plan to reach the Hispanic community is by organizing Pinche Cancer Soccer tournaments in the areas of the country that are heavily populated with Hispanics. By promoting such events that encourage healthy life styles and cancer awareness, prevention and education, we want to change the fact that cancer is the leading cause of death in the Hispanic community.
We are actively seeking national sponsors to help us reach our mission. Our first official Pinche Cancer Soccer Tournament will be held in Dallas, TX on the weekend of Cinco de Mayo.
We're counting on your support and coverage and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you in advance for your willingness to support the efforts of "Pinche Cancer" and for making a difference in the Hispanic community. We're willing to work with any person or organization that has the overall well-being of the Hispanic community in mind. Please visit www.pinchecancer.org for updates.

provide and are connected with the group. The group takes place on the second

has or had ovarian cancer and would benefit from the chance to share and
derive support from other women with the same diagnosis, call our office in
advance at 914-962-6402, or toll-free at 800-532-4290, to register and
