Moffitt And Walgreens Team Up To Fight Cancer

Money raised from the "Make A Difference" campaign will go toward education and outreach programs.

Through July 8, and Walgreens are hoping to raise money for cancer education and outreach programs in underserved communities.

The two have teamed up in the “Make A Difference” campaign, during which Walgreens customers can buy and sign $1 and $5 “Make A Difference” circles in stores to support diversity programs at Moffitt.

“Funding for programs that address underserved populations are dwindling nationwide,” said B. Lee Green, Ph.D., the vice president of Moffitt Diversity in a press release issued by Moffitt on June 3. “So we hope that this will be a longstanding relationship between Moffitt Cancer Center and Walgreens to tackle some tough issues and to build sustainable programs in underserved communities.”

The initiative will focus on early detection and prevention because certain populations have a higher risk for cancer.

This is the first partnership between Moffitt and Walgreens. The campaign is taking place in nearly 300 Walgreens stores throughout the West Coast of Florida and in South Georgia.
