📢 Tools for Educators: Prepare students to save their lives through early cancer detection

Equip students with the knowledge and tools to detect cancer early, potentially saving their lives.

With early-onset cancers and late diagnoses on the rise, health educators are uniquely positioned to directly improve these staggering statistics. By equipping students with the knowledge, tools, and life skills to recognize early signs of cancer, and play an influential role in early detection, teachers can help students save their own lives.

Paragus Firehouse Cook Off - DetecTogether

🚒 Great night for saving lives!

It was a fantastic fall evening at Polar Park in Worcester, MA, for the Paragus Firehouse Cook-Off. They raised money and awareness for DetecTogether's 3 Steps Detect early cancer detection program for firefighters.

It was quite the culinary showdown—$15,000 in proceeds benefit the Worcester, MA, firefighters 6K and DetecTogether’s 3 Steps Detect program for firefighters. Congratulations to Franklin Street Firehouse 🥇 for winning southern fried chicken and waffles. Yum!

Fire Captain Tim Foley, a two-time winner from previous years, said, “Cancer is one of the big killers of firefighters; we can raise money for awareness, help guys out, and save lives when we catch cancer early.”
