FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Russian-American Dental Association's Annual
Oral Cancer/Smoking Cessation
Fundraiser
New York, NY-
March 25th , Russian-American Dental Association
(RADA) will hold a fundraising reception for its Oral
Cancer/Smoking Cessation Campaign on Saturday, April 3rd
at 230 Fifth Avenue (at 27th St) Penthouse
Lounge in the Empire Room from 11pm to 1am, following the
Mashina Vremeni, 40th Anniversary Tour concert.
Tickets for the fundraiser are $150 (one hundred dollars is
tax deductible). All proceeds will go directly to RADA’s
oral cancer screenings, “Kids 4 Kids” Anti-Smoking Drawing
Contest, and for medical professionals and general public
outreach programs.
More than ever RADA continues to stimulate unprecedented
growth through its smoking cessation campaigns. The success
and viability of the association is attributed to benevolent
donors of humanitarian causes. Supporters of the
organization will ensure sustained vitality and prosperity
while empowering American society.
At the center of RADA’s mission lies the Oral Cancer/Smoking
Cessation Project which provides free oral cancer screenings
among other programs. This year’s second annual free oral
cancer screenings will take place in three locations:
Downtown Brooklyn, Queens, and North New Jersey. “This
expansion leads to greater oral cancer awareness and overall
strengthens RADA’s educational
outreach. We’re excited to make an impact in more
communities, and we will be screening and treating more
patients,” said Dr.Sumareva, President of RADA. The Oral
Cancer and Smoking Cessation
Campaign educates dentists, physicians and the general
public about this debilitating disease. Participants who
undergo oral cancer examination and who show suspects of
oral cancer will be eligible to receive a biopsy free of
charge by RADA.
Just as RADA’s extending its oral cancer screenings into new
communities, it is also making significant strides in
reaching a younger audience through its National “Kids 4
Kids” Anti-smoking Campaign which encourages children from
grades K-8 to submit drawings exemplifying a smoke-free
lifestyle. Last year the contest received over 600 drawings,
and this year RADA anticipates a greater turnout.
Winners will be announced at the end of April. First prize
recipient will be awarded American Express gift cards and
featured in “Kids 4 Kids” 2010 magazine published by RADA.
