Two ACS videos up for Sharecare Awards - your action requested!

Vote once a day to help us win!
Two American Cancer Society videos have been selected as finalists for a Sharecare Award. Your votes can help bring home the “People’s Choice” award. The Sharecare Awards, in association with The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (The Emmy’s), honor excellence in health and wellness productions and programming.
ACS is a finalist in three of 15 categories. Between now and Friday, Jan. 31, the public is invited to vote for their favorite, which will determine the winner of the 2020 People’s Choice Sharing Care Award. Each finalist’s submission is available for viewing at sharecareawards.org/voting, where people can cast their vote for one finalist in each category per day during this period.
ACS is a finalist in the behavioral health category for the Caregiver Self-Care: Stress Management video that is a part of our Caregiver Support series, written by ACS and produced by Dan Hodlick, ACS Studios. The goal of this 16-part series is to provide educational support to caregivers as they assist with the everyday physical care needs of cancer patients and provide self-care techniques to improve their quality of life. Please visit this site to vote for the caregiver video. 
In the cancer and innovation category, Virtual Reality for Pediatric Cancer Patients, a video written by ACS and produced by Zuza Films, showcases an innovative, relevant, and impactful virtual reality experience that allows kids going through treatment at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to get a respite from the pain and anxiety caused by treatment protocols. For more than 20 years, virtual reality simulations have been used in a clinical setting as a method of distraction to help address anxiety, pain, and the loss of control people feel during painful medical procedures. Please visit the cancer category and the innovation category to vote for this video. 
Remember, you can vote once in each category each day from now until Jan. 31!
Finalists and winners for each category will be honored at the 2020 Sharecare Awards event on Thursday, March 26, in Atlanta.
