Students, parents and teachers in the Putnam City district have raised nearly $4 million for cancer research at OMRF since its Cancer Fund Drive began in 1975. In addition to purchasing lab equipment and supplies, the cancer drive also established the Putnam City Schools Distinguished Chair in Cancer Research at OMRF, held by scientist Linda Thompson, Ph.D. For more information or to register: http://putnamcityschools.org/cancerclassic.
