Welcome to the You Can Cure Us webpage. You Can Cure Us is a group of interested and hard working students at the University of Florida and this year we are planning a week full of events in order to raise $100,000 for cancer. We have developed 9 creative events that will take place starting November 14th in and around the University of Florida campus that have all been created with our general purpose in mind, to raise money for our cause. Through our website you will be able to see exactly what each of our events entail, who our event directors are, How you can get involved, and where the money we raise will go. Thank you very much for visiting our You Can Cure Us 2009 Cancer Week web site and I hope we have inspired you to help us with our cause. Have a wonderful day, and Go Gators!!!
