Fight Oral Cancer Foundation (FOCF) will be holding a free oral cancer screening at Campion Trail, T.W. Richardson Grove Park on September 19th.

Support Groups are an important part of walking through the treatment process for those that have been diagnosed with oral cancer.  SPOHNC (short for Support for People with Oral and Head and Neck Cancer) is committed to developing programs to support those that are on that journey.

Last year the Fight Oral Cancer Foundation had the privilege of participating in the SPOHNC fundraiser in Irving. While at the event we conducted free oral cancer screenings. Dr. Fitzgerald screened many attendees and referred 5 attendees to seek further diagnosis from doctors.

FOCF in collaboration with SPOHNC is delighted to be a part of this event again this year on September 19th. We will be conducting free oral cancer screenings.  You are invited to come out to the event and be a part of the great work that SPOHNC is doing to make a difference in the lives of those that have fallen victim to this horrible disease.

We are preparing for our National Walk for Oral Cancer that will take place in May.  Details on the Dallas location will be sent out shortly. If you have a heart to help in the fight against oral cancer and would like to be a part of this event, please let me know as we are currently building our volunteer team and could use as many hands as possible.

This will be the inaugural walk, thus, we are open to volunteers that wish to take on various projects.  Money that we raise will go toward:

1. Educational pamphlet to be distributed at schools, hospitals, health fairs and public libraries locally and nationwide.
2. Provide dental care and dental hygiene educational programs for children.
3. Hold free oral cancer screenings locally and nationwide.
4. Sponsor speakers to raise awareness and promote screening.
5. Fund oral cancer research.

Hosting Local Walk Nationally or Internationally

We encourage individuals and organizations that are not from Dallas to host a walk in your hometown.  If you are interested in hosting one in your area, please let us know and we’ll work with you to give you the details you’ll need in order to host your own walk.
