Pulaski Mayor Ernest Wheeler and Coordinator of Oswego County Opportunities’ Cancer Services Program, Carolyn Handville, distributed special shirts to community members as they gathered at the Ringgold Fire Department on March 26 to raise awareness of colorectal cancer and form the first-ever human blue ribbon in Oswego County.
In recognition of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, Oswego County Opportunities’ Cancer Services Program joined merchants along Jefferson Street in Pulaski to make Pulaski’s main street “Go Blue” to raise awareness of colorectal cancer in Oswego County and encourage people to receive their necessary cancer screenings.
It took Emily Bradshaw nearly her entire life to grow her long brown hair. It took only a few moments for the Kingsford fifth grader’s locks to be shaved off Monday evening. However, Emily’s unselfish act will give other youngsters a fighting chance at life. The 10-year-old was one of nearly 80 people taking part in the annual St. Baldrick’s Foundation event in the food court of the Campus Center at SUNY Oswego.
Emily Bradshaw is going to have her head shaved as part of a benefit to raise funds to help kids who are suffering from childhood cancer. People can donate to her effort. Or, they can “Brave the Shave” themselves on Feb. 28 at the SUNY Oswego Campus Center.
