ASCO Joins Frosted Pink with A Twist and Mary Lou Retton to Raise Awareness of Cancer
This year in the United States an estimated 260,000 women will be diagnosed with breast, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, vaginal, and vulvar cancers, and an estimated 69,000 women will die from these diseases. In response, a coalition of leading cancer organizations is creating a new initiative to communicate a very important message to all American women: be your own best advocate by learning as much as you can about cancer.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) is joining forces with five other national cancer organizations in a landmark television event and multimedia education campaign --Frosted Pink with a Twist -- to raise awareness of cancer and inspire the public to learn more about early detection, prevention, and advances in cancer care and treatment. Cancer.Net is the official clinical cancer information resource for Frosted Pink with a Twist.
Frosted Pink with a Twist is the anchor event of a multi-year television network, cable network, and multimedia campaign that focuses on educating viewers about cancers that primarily affect women. Timed for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October and co-hosted by Mary Lou Retton, Frosted Pink with a Twist will highlight the current All-Around Women’s Gymnastics Champion, Shawn Johnson, defending Olympic All-Around Men’s Champion Paul Hamm, as well other stars of Men’s and Women’s US Olympic Gymnastics teams. Paired with the Champion gymnasts will be icons of song, making for a historical evening of sports, entertainment, and health awareness.
Frosted Pink with a Twist will air nationally on ABC from 4:00 – 6:00 PM ET on Sunday, October 12, 2008. The show will re-air on additional cable networks throughout the remainder of the month.
