Last updated

The Next Generation Choices Foundation, also known as Less Cancer, is an American nonprofit organization (501(c)(3)) founded by Bill Couzens in 2004 to educate the public about cancer prevention through digital media and community-supported programming.

The organization targets its messages to at-risk populations, such as children, low-income communities, and workers. Less Cancer's goal is to raise awareness of prevention and reduce incidence of diagnosed cancer in all people; they also support reduced use of chemicals in food production as a means to reduce cancer.

In addition to online media, Less Cancer communicates its cancer prevention message through live events, fundraisers, blogs, letters to the editor, [1] outreach to lawmakers, round tables, and panel discussions with health-related constituencies, as well as through self-sponsored speaker series and congressional testimony. The organization encourages supporter education and activism regarding exposures to lawn and garden pesticides, and spraying at schools and other communities where children and others are at risk.

[57]

According to Congresswoman Dingell's website, "The Congressional Cancer Prevention Caucus is designed to help stop [the ongoing impact of cancer on American families] by providing a bipartisan forum to engage Members of Congress, their staff, the medical community, advocacy groups, academia and the public on lifestyle and environmental factors that can reduce cancer risk. The caucus will seek to increase education and awareness and advance policy solutions that improve public health and help prevent cancer before it starts." [58]
