Assorted News from the Last Week:
CAC2 Member The Grayson Foundation and The American Childhood Cancer Organization are partnering to bring a Childhood Cancer Awareness specialty license plate to Tennessee residents. While Tennessee has several children’s hospital license plates, it does not have a general childhood cancer awareness license plate with a gold ribbon. This is a simple way to honor all the young warriors across the state who are in treatment, in remission, or in Heaven. The state requires 1,000 preorders before they will begin to produce and issue the new tag. Will you please help us by sharing this information with your contacts in Tennessee? If we do not reach 1,000 preorders by 6/30/25, the tag won’t happen. The link to preorder a license tag is: https://s.acco.org/Reserve-TN-
