✨ Thank You for Turning August Amber for Appendix Cancer Awareness ✨

This August, more than 140 landmarks across 4 countries lit up amber to raise awareness for appendix cancer, from iconic buildings and natural wonders to homes, offices, and local businesses. Survivors, families, friends, and supporters shared their photos and stories, making this campaign truly unforgettable.

The first photo highlights a meaningful moment at Niagara Falls, where Tressa Snoke and her family visited while the falls glowed amber. Tressa’s father, Michael Dvorsky, was one of the original founders of this foundation and passed away in 2012 after a courageous battle with appendix cancer. Moments like these continue to remind us why this campaign matters so deeply.

We are incredibly grateful to our volunteers, landmark partners, and every supporter who helped make this campaign shine brighter than ever. Your efforts brought visibility, awareness, and hope to the appendix cancer community worldwide.

Light Up Committee Volunteers: Tina F., Jill H., Brennan M., Jahnavi P., Chantale T., Mel T., Clare W., Ellen and Matt Z.

We’re honored to share your photos here and in our Light Up gallery: https://acpmp.org/event/light-up-amber-for-appendix-cancer-2025/

If you have more to share, please email them to lightup@acpmp.org.

Together, we turned August amber. 💛
