Hi All,

Please click on the included blue link to have a postcard sent on your behalf urging the American Cancer Society to stop having fundraisers that feature and promote beef eating. In other words, that promote cancer!

Thank you,

Cancer Society Promotes Disease with Beef Fundraisers, Say Doctors

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is calling on the American Cancer Society to put an end to its “Cattle Barons’ Ball” events – beef-themed fundraisers promoting the very disease the cancer research and prevention giant is committed to curing. The fundraisers feature Western and cowboy themes, including “chuck wagons” loaded with beef and other meats. More than 30 are held each year.

PCRM Nutrition Director Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D., has written to local organizers of the ACS-sponsored Cattle Barons events urging them to either cancel or find new themes. As part of its campaign – “Cancer: It’s What’s for Dinner at the Cattle Barons’ Ball” – PCRM has launched a nationwide e-mail write-in effort calling on American Cancer Society CEO John Seffrin, Ph.D. and ACS chapters to call off or re-theme these events.

An e-mail “postcard” can be sent to Dr. Seffrin by going to PCRM’s Web site: www.AmericanCancerSocietyPromotesDisease.org/letter.html (Note: although this page suggests that you edit the sample postcard to make it your own,

you can also just send it as it is.)

**Information on the link between cancer and meat consumption, PCRM’s e-mail “postcard” urging the American Cancer Society to cancel or re-theme its Cattle Barons’ Balls, and the dates, locations, and contact information on all upcoming

Cattle Barons’ Ball events can be found on PCRM’s Web site: www.AmericanCancerSocietyPromotesDisease.org. For further info, contact: Howard White: 202-686-2210 ext. 339, or HWhite @ PCRM.org (remove 2
