Teaching cancer prevention is an important part of our mission. We attend the Columbus Arts Festival and the Upper Arlington Arts Festival to teach cancer prevention through the use of an art intervention. Our initiatives focus on anti-tobacco, skin cancer prevention, healthy eating and exercise. We reach more than 4,000 children and their parents each year.
For our “Take the 5-a-Day Pledge” we presented children with pre-printed placemats explaining serving sizes for fruits and vegetables. Children made art of the placemats which becomes a reminder about the role of healthy eating in cancer prevention.
