The American Cancer Society’s Leadership Council of Baldwin County has partnered with local businesses and public school students to provide resource bags to newly diagnosed cancer patients in Baldwin County.  The bags include informative literature on the various American Cancer Society resources available to cancer patients, as well as, pillows that can be utilized during chemotherapy treatments.  The pillows are being made by local Family & Consumer Science students from Foley High School, Spanish Fort High School, Baldwin County Middle School, Gulf Shores Middle School, Bay Minette Middle School, Summerdale School, and Baldwin County High School.  The school initiative is being coordinated by Mimi Goecke, Family & Consumer Science teacher at Foley High School. Other participating teachers include Martha Smith, Dianne Bernasconi, Dawn Hopper, Michele Carpenter, Becky Clark, Martha Rogers, and Karen Sims from the various participating schools. Sew Sweet, a monogramming, screen-printing, and alterations business located in Gulf Shores, donated pillow materials for the resource bag project.  These bags are being distributed to cancer centers throughout Baldwin County.   The American Cancer Society saves lives and creates more birthdays by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back.
