One Cause, One Wednesday, One Hundred Collages

In one way or another, we have all been touched by cancer. Some have been affected by some type of cancer in their own bodies; others of us have someone close to us battling the disease, and way too many of us have lost one or more loved ones to it. We can do something to help find a cure.

This month we are being given a special opportunity to support this cause in a way dear to our hearts. So mark your calendars for February 16!
