CURE Blog

During the month of September, CURE Childhood Cancer received support from so many organizations and individuals. While we are thankful for every single outreach, we would like to highlight one supporter in particular: NBC 11Alive.

11Alive was gracious enough to invite us into the studio to film multiple PSAs featuring CURE supporters Tom Glavine and 11Alive’s own Jill Becker. Whenever we saw one of these spots running during the month of September, we were reminded of how thankful we are to 11Alive for stretching our minimal ad dollars and donating so much airtime to the cause. Check out a couple of the spots below:

If the PSAs weren’t generous enough, 11Alive reached out and offered to incorporate CURE into their website MomsLikeMe, a site that acts as a network to connect moms in the Atlanta area. MomsLikeMe asked CURE to collect stories from moms whose children have been affected by cancer. Each day during the month of September, MomsLikeMe donated a prominent blog post featuring one of these courageous moms. To check one of last month’s featured mom, click here.

In addition, you may have seen CURE Childhood Cancer featured on NBC 11Alive’s show Atlanta & Company. Atlanta & Company invited us on four separate occasions to help raise awareness for CURE’s Kids Conquer Cancer, promote our Quiet Heroes banquet, and encourage participation in the 2011 Annual Golf Classic. CURE’s inclusion in these segments not only helped significantly with fund raising efforts, but also helped spread the word about everything we are doing to find a cure for this terrible disease.

Thank you again, 11Alive, for your continued support of CURE Childhood Cancer. You have gone above and beyond anything we could have asked for and all of your efforts bring us one step closer to finding a cure!
