PLAINSBORO, N.J. (July 6, 2016) - CURE Media Group, the nation’s leading digital and print media organization focused on patients with cancer, today announced the addition of six leading cancer organizations to its Advocacy Spotlight Partnership Program. The new partnerships are with The Angiogenesis Foundation, Eat to Beat Cancer, The Science of CRC, Lung Cancer Alliance, The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and HIS Breast Cancer Awareness.

As partners, all six organizations will supply timely information, content and articles about activities, trends, issues, research and treatment developments, educational opportunities, and programs related to lung, colorectal and breast cancers, as well as other important cancer topics and advances. The diverse information will be used as rich content across CURE Media Group print and digital communications channels.

“As the nation’s leading digital and print media enterprise focused on patients with cancer, CURE Media Group is consistently seeking partners that are able to provide interesting and unique cancer patient-focused content,” says Mike Hennessy Jr., president of CURE Media Group. “These six distinctive organizations will enhance our content for patients seeking information and support to help them on their cancer journeys.”

Founded in 1994, The Angiogenesis Foundation is the world’s first 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to conquering diseases like cancer using a new approach based on angiogenesis, the growth of new capillary blood vessels in the body.

Eat to Beat Cancer is a global campaign to crush the cancer epidemic by getting people to eat foods that starve cancer. Eattobeat.org is a resource hub and a recruitment platform for the community to inspire, influence and monitor dietary behavior change based on the latest medical science.

The Science of CRC (colorectal cancer) is an advocacy program for patients with colorectal cancer. This program focuses on increasing global public awareness of CRC, the role of angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) in CRC, and the importance of antiangiogenic treatments for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Founded in 1995, Lung Cancer Alliance is the oldest and highest-rated nonprofit organization committed to saving lives, and accelerating research and policy, while empowering patients living with or persons at risk for lung cancer.

The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a grass-roots nonprofit started in 1999 to facilitate quality inflammatory breast cancer research while providing education and awareness of the disease to both the medical and lay communities.

Founded in 2009, HIS Breast Cancer Awareness and its informative website were created to assist anyone who is interested in learning about the risks and treatments associated with male breast cancer, as well as dealing with the emotional aspect and stigmatism of men dealing with this disease.

These six organizations join CURE Media Group’s Advocacy Spotlight Partnership Program as the latest of more than 70 partners, including other leading advocacy and support organizations, from around the country.
