Lee National Denim Day
Cancer Support Community Greater Miami is urging its participants and friends to join the nation in putting on their favorite blue jeans on October 8 as part of Lee National Denim Day. Funds raised will benefit cancer education and support programs and breast cancer research nationwide. The 2010 Lee National Denim Day Ambassador is actor Felicity Huffman.

Denim Day, now in its 15th year, has united millions nationwide in the fight against breast cancer. A portion of funds raised will come back to the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami. Funds also support some of the nation’s most promising early detection and treatment research, and the Women’s Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).

“We all know someone affected by cancer, and Denim Day is an easy way for anyone in Miami to get involved in this important cause,” says CSCGM’s founder Pam Zakheim. “Participation is so simple -- all you have to do is wear jeans and give $5.00.” Please call CSCGM at 305.668.5900 and ask for Theresa Jacome at ext. 228 for more information.

Attention Breast Cancer Survivors

As a breast cancer survivor, you know that breast cancer is more than just treating the disease, there are often emotional and social challenges to overcome as well.

You’re invited to join The Breast Cancer M.A.P. (Mind Affects the Physical) Project, a new movement to identify and address the emotional and social needs that accompany a breast cancer diagnosis.

Help change the breast cancer experience for the millions of women who live it everyday. Join the movement today!

We have some exciting news! We are changing our name to: Cancer Support Community.

This name change is the result of The Wellness Community-National merging with the National arm of Gilda’s Club. That merger, on the National level, has provided us with the opportunity to make this change. We believe that our new name better reflects what we do.

Nothing else has changed. We still offer the same wide range of support services we have always offered, and they will continue to be provided free of charge. We are still an independent 501(c)3, non-profit organization, registered with the State of Florida and governed by our local Board of Directors. All donations we receive are completely tax deductible, and all money raised in Miami stays in Miami.

Please click here for additional information about the National merger, or call us should you have any questions (305-668-5900).

Best regards,

Pamela K. Zakheim, M.Ed.         Adam Spiegel, CPA
Founder & Executive Director      Chairman, Board of
                                              Directors
