| Closer to Free The new Smilow Cancer Hospital "Closer to Free" advertising campaign launched on New Year's Eve with the first of four commercials. We have already received wonderful response to the new spots, which you will continue to see on network and cable television over the coming months. The first two are currently available to view on the YNHH YouTube Channel.
The call to action for the campaign is the new micro-website www.closertofree.com Please visit the site and watch the new videos and interviews from Smilow Cancer Hospital and Yale Cancer Center. Print ads for the Closer to Free campaign will run in the Wall Street Journal, Connecticut Magazine, Hartford Courant, New Haven Register, and a few other weekly newspaper groups. Thank you to all the faculty and staff members who scheduled time to participate in the campaign in December.

BJ's Charitable Foundation Grant BJ's Charitable Foundation recently announced a grant of $34,950 to Yale Cancer Center for breast cancer research and treatment. This award is based on the successful program sponsored by BJ's Wholesale Club in October 2010. "Pink Ribbon" merchandise was sold in its stores throughout fifteen states. Every product marked with the BJ's Charitable Foundation Pink Ribbon Logo generated donations that were divided among National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers along the East Coast, including Yale Cancer Center ABB Foundation Grant The ABB Foundation awarded a $20,000 grant to the Yale Cancer Center Thoracic Oncology Program (TOP) to support its tumor banking efforts. This is the third donation from ABB to TOP, all resulting from the efforts of Pat Sclafani, a thymoma cancer survivor and employee of ABB. ABB, Inc. isa technology-based provider of power and automation products, systems, solutions, and services.
