Positive awareness and healthy change always starts with us, and there are several things you can do within your community to show your support towards that greater good. November is primarily well known as the month we celebrate Thanksgiving with our families, enjoying our time with them and giving humble thanks. It is also the time to remember the importance of what things matter the most to us and to celebrate togetherness in finding a unified cause.

Celebrating Our Survivors: A Virtual Quilt

Our goal is to bring together all of our lung cancer survivors and their family and friends to show their support by contributing to our virtual quilt.

What this project entails is either a significant piece of artwork or literature us how lung cancer has impacted your life. This can be anything ranging from a personal photograph that tells a story or something you have written that relates to the cause that has a great deal of significance to you. Each piece will be added together to create a larger “quilt” to be displayed on our group page as a whole deviation. With each “quilt” entry, a $5.00 donation will be made towards the Lung Cancer Alliance.


Submission Guidelines:  

Submission must be no larger than 600 x 600 pixels. See a live example of this particular box sizing here.*

You may submit your quilt boxes under any category that you wish. This includes, but is not limited to: literature, photography, digital or text art.

You may send in as many of these as you like. However, be sure to note all of your entries to `LadyLincoln.

Your deadline is January 1st, so you will have plenty of time to be as creative as you wish, just be sure that it relates to our lung cancer support theme.
