At this years event, actress Colleen Zenk Pinter will be with us along with a team of others from the long running TV show, As The World Turns. Colleen is recently out of treatment for oral cancer, and has become an advocate for early detection of the disease in television Public Service Announcements, and in print interviews in popular magazines. The show is produced by Proctor and Gamble Productions and runs on the CBS network. Both organizations have been very supportive, seeing that the oral cancer story and early detection gain public attention.
