As we know, cancer takes no quarantine.

Cervivor Community, 

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges for all of us. Many of us are navigating yet another “new normal”. More than ever we are committed to doing our best to continue supporting patients and their loved ones during this crisis. As an organization we are stronger than ever. We are still a global leader in the cervical cancer space and making our voices heard. This work continues. We have no choice.

But the reality, like so many other nonprofits, we have felt the burden of not being able to have in-person events. 

While the world hunkers down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, cancer takes no quarantine. Our work connecting women impacted by cervical cancer is as important as ever. Our work building a community of support is as essential as ever, especially for those currently in the midst of treatment who now face a whole new level of challenge…and fear. 

We hope you will use #GivingTuesdayNow to support Cervivor and ensure that we can continue our mission of supporting women affected by cervical cancer now and in the future. 

We understand that money may be tight. If you are unable to donate, please share our fundraising efforts. We need your support. We need our community. You’ll see more and more events that keep us connected while physically distancing. We’ll also continue training patients to become advocates, but to do so we need your support. It is crucial to our survival.

Can we count on you?

We’re stronger together — even virtually. My thoughts are with you all.

Get Ready for Cervical Cancer Awareness Month in January

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month (#CCAM). While we at Cervivor are educating and advocating 365 days a year, January presents us a unique opportunity to plug into the visibility of the month. Or frankly, to be proactive in giving the month visibility and ensuring that activities are happening in our communities! What are things you can do? Here are a few suggestions to kick off your planning for January:

  1. Host a cervical cancer survivor meet-up in your local area or speak with your local OB/GYN or cancer clinic about hosting a gynecologic cancer/cervical cancer support group.
  • Encourage New Year’s resolutions to keep up with annual women’s health exams, Pap testing and HPV testing. Encourage mom of teens and tweens to get their children the HPV vaccine. 
  • Schedule speaking opportunities by checking online for upcoming health fairs at local community centers or places of worship. Contact local women’s groups. Arrange to have a table to share information about cervical cancer prevention. 
  • Plan a fundraiser, awareness walk or “PAP Rally.” Start a treadmill challenge or steps counting challenge in January to encourage women to think about their health in 2020. 
  • Plan a Wear Teal & White Tuesday among your office or community to promote cervical cancer awareness and prevention. 
  • Spread the word on social media via your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or your blog. Re-tweet, like and share others’ posts throughout the month to amplify their messages too. Our friends at the American Sexual Health Association have some posters and pre-written social media posts that are easy to share. Coming soon: our own customized Cervivor #CCAM social media toolkit.
