- Cancer Prevention Laurel for Dedication to Community Service: Awarded to an individual who has demonstrated unwavering commitment to enhancing cancer prevention or early detection on the community level.
Multiple nominations are accepted. Here’s how to do it:

The awards will presented at the 2016 Dialogue for Action™: Progress & Prospects in Cancer Screening & Prevention, which will be held on April 6-8 in Baltimore.
