Welcome to a special Holiday 2020 Episode!
Episode 104: A special case study on how Valuegraphics (https://valuegraphics.com/) can help an organization like the American Association for Cancer Research (https://www.aacr.org/) to engage with their high-value gift donors.
CHECK OUT the AACR's NEW game here: http://neoantigen.gg/!!!  (Proceeds from the game will benefit cancer research.)

This is a very special episode of the Self Made Strategies Podcast.  We brought back two former guests (Mitch Stoller, Chief Philanthropic Officer of the American Association for Cancer Research, who previously appeared on Episode 039 of the Self Made Strategies Podcast; and, David Allison, Founder of Valuegraphics, who previously appeared on Episode 089 of the Self Made Strategies Podcast) to do a case study discussion to help raise awareness for the American Association for Cancer Research's initiatives to combat cancer.  Cancer started this fight, but the AACR WILL END IT (especially with support from great listeners like YOU!)!

Here are some quick Cancer facts (courtesy of https://playersvscancer.org/neoantigen/):

* 1 in 3 people will develop cancer in their lifetime.
* Cancer cases are expected to increase by 45% by 2030
* 40% of all cancers are preventable

Let's do our part by joining the AACR in its fight against cancer.
