Educating our youth on the consequences of tobacco use.

Home

The Tidwell Cancer Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization founded by Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Jackson Tidwell. The vision of the foundation is to make a lasting difference in our community by educating our youth about the benefits of living a tobacco-free lifestyle.

Education
The younger a person is when they start a tobacco habit, the harder it is to break. In response to the issue, the Tidwell Cancer Foundation teaches an anti-tobacco program called Tidwell's Terrific Kids to elementary school children. Our main objective is to help empower kids to make healthy tobacco-free lifestyle decisions. Some of the highlights of the program include pre & post-tests and activity booklets for each child. The program also includes creative games and activities as well as entertaining skits with colorful costumes. Programs of this type succeed by increasing students' knowledge about tobacco use.

Community
The Tidwell Cancer Foundation offers educational speakers that present on tobacco and the dangers associated with its use. These speakers are available to address your business or organization.

You Can Help
As with any successful endeavor, many diverse skills and helping hands are needed. We invite you and your business to aid us by providing financial support and/or volunteer services.
