Volunteers Needed for EC Aware at Radnor Fall Festival!

Calling all EC Aware members in the Philadelphia area!

We’re excited to announce that we have a team that will be hosting a tent at this year’s Radnor Fall Festival on Sunday, September 21st, from 12:00–4:00 PM in Wayne, PA.

We'll be sharing important educational materials about esophageal cancer, hosting a raffle, and offering keychains in exchange for donations to support EC Aware and help fund the EC Aware Patient Advocate Hotline.

We’re looking for volunteers to help us pass out materials and engage with festivalgoers. If you're interested in joining us, please contact Lyndsay Rowland at lyndsayerowland@yahoo.com.

Even if you’re not available to volunteer, feel free to stop by the tent and say hello!
