Background/Justification:
Scott County has been chosen as one of only four counties in Minnesota by the American Cancer Society to
participate in the Cancer Prevention Study - 3 (CPS-3). This is a major event for Scott County and aligns with
Scott County goal to Create Safe, Healthy, and Livable Communities and the objectives of the Carver-Scott
State Health Improvement Program (SHIP).
Relay For Life of Scott County is honored to be chosen as a CPS-3 Enrollment Site for 2011! This is a once in
a lifetime opportunity to be involved in a very personal way for cancer research. Participation can help save
lives and fight back against cancer by enrolling in the CPS-3 locally at the Relay For Life of Scott County
during the summer of 2011. Participation with this study will help future generations and more birthdays to be
celebrated. Participation by Scott County citizens in the CPS-3 is a great way to honor a loved one who has
been inflicted with cancer. This is research today for a cancer-free tomorrow.
