Delia Oliveri Honored at the White House
Nevada's State Lead Ambassador, Delia Oliveri, was honored at the White House with four other ACS CAN volunteers as "Champions of Change" on September 27, 2011.
Each week the White House identifies " Champions of Change," citizens who are making an impact on their communities and helping the nation address overcome serious challenges. During the week of September 26, the White House named five ACS CAN volunteers as Champions of Change for their leadership in the fight against breast cancer. Joining Delia at the White House were Peggy Belanger of Old Orchard Beach, ME; Anne Creech of Holland, OH; Thelma Jones of Washington, DC; and Ellen Stephenson of Casselberry, FL. All honorees were were chosen for their work as ACS CAN advocates on behalf of breast cancer survivors, caregivers and providers.
On September 27, the women joined advocates from Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the National Breast Cancer Coalition, administration officials, and Tina Tchen, Chief of Staff to the First Lady, before an audience for a panel discussion on breast cancer, which was broadcast live.
Watch the replay. In addition, each woman will have a blog post on whitehouse.gov/champions describing her advocacy work and how she is making positive changes in the fight against breast cancer throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
