“I am blessed to be surrounded by my fellow Lung Cancer Survivors as we work together to change the face of Lung Cancer…one stadium at a time!”

Candi Trioa, Lung Cancer Survivor-Advocate

“Well OK it really doesn’t get any better than this to be surrounded by my fellow survivors. I’m really looking forward to spending time with each and everyone of them.”

As a cradle Husker and UNL alum, spending a beautiful fall day with my husband in a sold out Husker stadium, representing the face of lung cancer with fellow Husker survivors…that’s going to be a day to remember!! (Especially if we win!)

In 2012, we, Team Draft, launched our inaugural Survivor at Every Stadium initiative on CNN during a nationally-televised prime time special focusing on lung cancer and our National Campaign to Change the Face of Lung Cancer.

Leveraging our connections with the NCAA, its teams and players and our relationships with many of the top cancer centers in the country, As part of our National Campaign, this celebration of survivorship raises lung cancer awareness, gives hope to those battling the disease, and shines a light on the important work being done at cancer research and treatment centers around the country.

Special thanks to the University of Nebraska, University of Nebraska Buffett Cancer Center, Chris Anderson, and all of our Team Draft supporters for helping make this event possible.
