Gynecologic Cancer Foundation Joins Kaleidoscope for Thanksgiving Day National Broadcast

The Gynecologic Cancer Foundation has teamed up with nine other advocacy partners in an unprecedented collaboration with “Kaleidoscope on Ice.”
The holiday entertainment variety special will feature the historic return to the ice of the legendary Scott Hamilton and Dorothy Hamill who will skate to the music of fellow cancer survivor Olivia Newton-John and one of America’s foremost music producers David Foster.
This event and celebration that unites survivorship, sport and song debuts on Thanksgiving Day and will also include performances by Olympic champion Kristi Yamaguchi, Olympic Silver Medalist Nancy Kerrigan and Olympic figure skating hopefuls Johnny Weir and Rachael Flatt.
“Kaleidoscope on Ice” is a program designed to recognize women and the key role they play in the battle against cancer – as patients, caregivers and advocates.
Its mission is to address issues surrounding women and cancer by helping educate women to be proactive about their health and by honoring all cancer survivors, including the more than 713,000 women who are diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States.
Mark your calendars for Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 26) 2009. Tune into FOX from 4:00-5:30 p.m. (EST) – immediately following the FOX Thanksgiving Day football telecast – to watch “Kaleidoscope on Ice.”
The 10 nationwide advocacy partners involved in this project include: American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Breast Cancer Network of Strength (BCNS), C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition (C3), Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (GCF), Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), Lung Cancer Alliance (LCA), National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS), Oncology Nursing Society (ONS), Ovarian Cancer National Alliance (OCNA) and the Prevent Cancer Foundation (PCF).
