Hello!
Our dental practice, Westlake Smile Studio, is hosting a fundraising walk on Nov 3 at Pepperdine University to support The Oral Cancer Foundation and we need your help! We are looking for people to help on the planning committee, solicit sponsorships and recruit participants. This is a GREAT opportunity for people looking for a longer term volunteer commitment OR just day of help. We are at the very, very early stages of planning and could use all the help we can get! Help us bring a walk to the LA/Ventura County are that will have an incredible impact on the 140K+ people diagnosed with oral cancer each year! For more info, visit www.westlakesmilestudio.com/ocfwalk/ or contact Katie at info@westlakesmilestudio.com

Mission Statement
The Oral Cancer Foundation’s missions are rooted in science. OCF funds life-saving research and work that elucidates mechanisms for early discovery and furthers disease understanding. We provide direct peer to peer support for oral cancer patients and their caregivers. We disseminate vetted professional and public information on oral and oropharyngeal cancer, and work as advocates for national policies that facilitate disease awareness, early discovery, and improve treatments and their outcomes. Our foundation’s missions are changing patient’s lives today, and altering outcomes in the future.
Description
The Oral Cancer Foundation’s core mission is to reduce the incidence of oral and oropharyngeal cancers in the US population, and support those who are currently or have been, impacted by the disease. We do so through the following mechanisms.
We provide the most current and vetted scientific information about the disease in a central location, the OCF web site which has hundreds of pages of regularly reviewed pages on the disease, treatments, research, and much more. This information can be accessed free of charge by anyone, and our site is regularly used by patients, students, doctors, researchers, and the general public interested in the disease. An informed public is able to avoid risk factors for disease development, and recognize early signs and symptoms that will facilitate early diagnosis and treatment.
