Volume 2, Issue 1 HAPPY NEW YEAR! January 2009

You are cordially invited to join Emcee Nancy Grace of CNN and Chairman Dr. Paul Scheinberg, Chief of Staff at Saint Joseph's Hospital, for a wonderful evening of cocktails, dinner, dancing, and silent auction to benefit lung cancer awareness, research, and support.

"Hope is the melody of the future. Faith is dancing to it today."

What is Dancing for Joan?

Our Second Annual Fund Raiser for Joan

Cocktails. Dinner. Dancing. Silent Auction.

Dancing for Joan honors Joan’s great love of dancing with this “call-to-action” in the fight against lung cancer. It is an exciting and fun way to honor important contributors in the crusade against the disease, to educate our guests, and to raise the funds needed for awareness campaigns, research, and support.

That is why they have designated January as National Radon Action Month. Learn more.
