Share Your Organization's Success
A great way to get connected with the WI CCC plan is by sharing your organization's cancer related projects, activities, and successes.
The WI CCC has started a Statewide Inventory Catalogue of these projects, activities, and successes. Organizations such as the UW Center for Tobacco Research and Invention and the Wisconsin Women's Health Foundation have already contributed.
If you have a project you want to contribute to this catalogue, simply complete the Statewide Program Inventory form and then check back to the website periodically to see it posted.
For more information or other ways to contribute to the Statewide Inventory email us at wicancer@uwccc.wisc.edu.
