Survivor Circle
In 2003, ASTRO created the Survivor Circle as a way to honor cancer survivors. Each year, ASTRO partners with two local patient support organizations and features them at the Survivor Circle in the Exhibit Hall at the Annual Meeting. It was our hope that by partnering with local organizations in the cities that host our meeting, we would be able to not only give back to the cities we visit, but also help raise awareness of these important organizations among our members.
Through generous donations from exhibitors and attendees, ASTRO raises funds for the two organizations featured in the Survivor Circle. Since its inception, the Survivor Circle has raised more than $200,000 for our partner organizations.
We will be searching for 2012 Survivor Circle Grant recipients beginning in March. The two winners will be featured in the Survivor Circle at our Annual Meeting October 28-31, 2012, in Boston.
Passport Program
Through generous donations from exhibitors and attendees, ASTRO raises funds for the two organizations featured in the Survivor Circle. Since its inception, the Survivor Circle has raised more than $200,000 for these organizations. Last year, the Cancer Support Community of Greater Miami and Gilda's Club South Florida were honored in the Survivor Circle at the Annual Meeting in Miami Beach, Fla.
In 2006, ASTRO introduced the Survivor Circle Passport Program. This program was created not only to help raise money for the groups we partnered with in the Survivor Circle, but also to help drive traffic to passport participant's booths. With your participation, your company name will be listed on a passport given to all attendees. Each attendee can stop by your booth to learn more about your company and receive a stamp from you. When their passport is full, they can stop by the Survivor Circle on the Exhibit Hall floor to drop of their passport for a chance to win fabulous prizes. This opportunity is given to the first 10 companies to make their donation.
