TAKE THE PEARL OF WISDOM PLEDGE:

The Hicks Foundation joins the Pearl of Wisdom Campaign to Prevent Cervical Cancer in a united, global effort. The campaign increases awareness of the new means of preventing cervical cancer, encourages women to take full advantage of these methods, and advocates for the implementation of these tools for girls and women everywhere. January is National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. But the conversation shouldn’t stop there! Cervical cancer prevention should be an ongoing chat with the women in your life. Now is your chance to make a difference. Learn the facts, take the Pearl Pledge and protect yourself and the women you love from this preventable disease. Help us reach our goal of getting 4,070 pledges – the same number of women who were expected to die from cervical cancer in 2009 – before Mother’s Day (May 9, 2010).

The Hicks Foundation's mission is to eradicate cervical cancer in the State of Vermont. We work to educate women and men and link women with affordable health services to catch cancer early, catch HPV before it leads to cancer, and catch individuals before they develop HPV.
