•To protect and grow our brand and to better deliver on mission, we must increase knowledge and become more personally relevant.

Constituent FeedbackCaller was diagnosed with brain cancer and was not given a good prognosis. She is now a 16 year cancer survivor. Today she saw a commercial for the birthday campaign and thought it was "fabulous" and said "It's a wonderful thing you are doing and I wanted to say thank you. The commercial was not in your face and did not make cancer look tragic. I appreciate that because people do survive." She thought the commercial was very sweet and she was really touched by it.
“I love the birthday campaign...for my 21st birthday, my mom asked me what I wanted and I asked her to quit smoking (she was surprised, she thought I would ask for a big party or some other expensive gift) but I asked for the most valuable thing I needed and wanted - more birthdays with her. That was 17 years ago and she is still smoke free.”
