We're kicking off Paint Nevada Pink on October 1 with a celebration at Locomotion Plaza for our Bras for a Cause -- raising awareness for breast cancer screening on blinged out bra at a time. Anyone can register to enter a bra into the event, then get to work decorating it. Pick a theme, make it pretty, make it funny --- just keep it family friendly! We'll showcase all of the bras in a mini fashion show before lighting the Reno Arch pink at 7:30 p.m. 

Join us for the fun. We'll have the street shut down so you can get photos under the pink arch. 

NCC's office will be closed Thursday and Friday following the Nevada Cancer Control Summit for team building and strategy planning. 

Save the date for the 2025 Nevada Cancer Control Summit. This one-day event will feature educational sessions and workshops, exhibits, networking and a reception and poster exhibit. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months. 

National Cancer Survivors Day is an annual celebration of life that is held in hundreds of communities nationwide, and around the world on the first Sunday of June. It is a CELEBRATION for those who have survived, an INSPIRATION for those recently diagnosed, a gathering of SUPPORT for families, and an OUTREACH to the community.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer, but it's easier to treat when found early. So don't let that mole get out of control! Get it checked at the Biggest Little Skin Cancer Screening May 7.
