CAPPED says thanks to Baja
Don’t believe your actions make a difference? Here’s proof that what you do matters. According to Baja Broadband’s coordinator of Marketing and Public Relations, Phyllis Duncan, this thank you note comes from the director at an organization known as CAPPED (Cancer, Awareness, Prevalence, Prevention, Early Detection). Baja runs Public Service Announcements for CAPPED on TV. The Director sent them this note to say thank you. He says the Public Service Announcements have gotten “at least 30 cancer patients or their family members” to walk through CAPPED’s doors looking for help!
