Bringing Our Community Leaders Together

In 2016,Merck, known as MSD outside the US and Canada, supported our LIVESTRONG Leader Assembly, a two-day event that engages almost 130 passionate volunteers in support of LIVESTRONG’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by cancer now.As ambassadors and boots on the ground in their local communities, the LIVESTRONGLeaders educate their neighbors about, and connect them with, LIVESTRONG programs and services that support patients, caregivers and survivors. Our Leaders also raise awareness of our mission, participate in various grassroots activities and support our legislative advocacy work around important cancer-related policy issues.By supporting LIVESTRONG’s organizational priorities, developing relationships with community leaders and cancer survivors and initiating their own activities, our leaders are able to exponentially amplify our mission across the globe.You can learn more about our LIVESTRONG Leaders Program here.Merck ’s commitment to serving cancer survivors and their loved ones is evidenced through their support of the LIVESTRONG Leader Assembly. We are extremely grateful for the support of Merck and their continued partnership with LIVESTRONG.From the LIVESTRONG family – thank you!The postBringing Our Community Leaders Together appeared first onThe Livestrong Foundation.
