Programs and results
What we aim to solve
According to the CDC about 44,000 human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers occur in the United States each year: about 25,000 among women, & about 19,000 among men. Cervical cancer is the most common HPV-associated cancer among women, & oropharyngeal cancers (cancers of the back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils) are the most common among men. HPV is linked to & can cause 6 types of cancer. It causes nearly all cervical cancers & many cancers of the vagina, vulva, penis, anus, rectum, & oropharynx. Education is critical & saves lives. HPV is the #1 sexually transmitted infection. Vaccines protect against the types of HPV that most often cause the 6 types of cancer as well as types of HPV that cause most genital warts. Cervical cancer also can be prevented or found early through regular Pap tests and HPV screenings & follow-up treatment. We are working to address the need to end HPV-related cancers and to save families.

Raise A Racket Annual Fundraiser
This event encourages guests to raise their voices and have fun playing tennis, learning about cancer prevention and increasing awareness of HPV-related cancers. We offer the exercise in the afternoon followed by dinner, drinks, an auction, and a guest speaker who focuses on our mission.
Strength in Colors 5K Walk/Run
This end of summer fundraiser is a perfect way for TCC's student interns and junior ambassadors to show off their hard work. It's a 5k route in a scenic park in Genoa Township in Westerville, OH. Families, dogs, strollers all are welcome to participate and join us in raising awareness of HPV-related cancers. ( the event name is meant to recognize the fact that there are multiple cancers caused by HPV and therefore, there are multiple colors used to raise awareness of the cancers; one for each of the 6 cancer types. Strength is an outcome of pulling everyone together to speak out about the 6 cancers that are preventable. Strength in numbers, strength in working together as a community to end cancer!
Paint the 'Ville Teal
This is our annual signature awareness event held in January. Volunteers tie teal ribbons around posts & trees in recognition of Jan. being cervical health awareness month. It is a great opportunity to teach and show children the importance of being a volunteer and a philanthropist too. We encourage others to get involved and to wear teal in January, tie ribbons with us or in their own neighborhoods, school campuses, & towns. We ask for donations and for others to hold a fundraiser of their own with TCC as the benefiting charity.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to end HPV-related cancers through education, outreach, patient support and research. Cancer screening, vaccination, education and living a healthy live style are all cancer prevention. Cervical Cancer is almost 100% caused by HPV. The the other cancers that can be caused by HPV are head and neck, anal, penile, vulvar and vaginal.
Education is Cancer Prevention and is key to our success.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our strategies are to create and spread awareness through events and education, to support patients and research with the funds we raise, and to engage adolescents, young adults, adults, and guardians in our mission. The more we educate and support our communities the sooner we will end HPV-related cancers. These efforts in turn will ensure communities are healthier and staying well in regard to HPV and cancers caused by the number one transmitted infection.
