As some of you might know, I am a big supporter for childhood cancer. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month and I am motivated to reach out to places that can light up their building gold. Back in June, I specifically chose to reach out to Tropicana Las Vegas because they have previously partnered with Susan G. Komen to light up their building pink for breast cancer awareness. In hope of a chance that they will light their building gold for childhood cancer, I sent them an email. Unfortunately, this is what I received. I do understand why this particular event cannot be carry out easily, but at the same time, I feel like childhood cancer has been thrown into a waste bin...as if it is not as important as breast cancer. Or perhaps, they will not take a young college student's word seriously..or because I am not a big organization, I am just one person. Myself. But I do appreciate the postcard.
