For nine years, the American Cancer Society in partnership with WSAV3-TV, has produced the stories of hundreds of women in the Coastal Empire. These have been stories of hope and progress in the fight against breast cancer. 2010 marks the 10 Year Anniversary of the Voices & Faces of Breast Cancer Survivorship campaign.

            Voices & Faces has continued to be a compelling visual display of breast cancer survivorship, as well as, a critical breast cancer education and awareness campaign.  Pictorial displays are placed in prominent public locations around Savannah during the months of October and November. The campaign also consists of 30-second video spots which air on WSAV (NBC Affiliate) throughout the year.   Participants of this project have a unique opportunity to reach people of various communities and share their stories of hope, survivorship and victory over breast cancer! 

             The 2010 selection committee will choose 10-12 applicants for participation in the campaign.  The committee is looking for stories of survivorship and hope, with special focus on diversity in age, gender and socioeconomic status. Voices & Faces Survivor applications can be requested by calling your American Cancer Society at 912.355.5196.  The deadline to submit applications has been extended until Friday, June 4, 2010.

This project is completed during the summer months at the WSAV TV studios and does require travel to Savannah, GA.  Participants will be honored during the Voices & Faces Fashion Show and Luncheon on Saturday, September 25, 2010 at the Marriott Savannah Riverfront. The campaign is unveiled during this event. Last year, over 300 people attended the Fashion Show and Luncheon, for a time of celebration, remembrance, and hope.
