January 29th — January 31st, 2009

Our 8th Annual chat-a-thon will take place in the FORCE chat room beginning one minute before midnight on January 29, 2009 (11:59 PM EST) and ending one minute after midnight on January 31st! (12:01 AM EST).

What is a Chat-a-thon?

FORCE coined the term "chat-a-thon" eight years ago to describe a virtual, Internet-based event similar to a cyber awareness walk or race. Because our members are scattered throughout the world, our chat-a-thon is a way for old and new members to connect and share experiences, and particpate in an awareness-raising event to support FORCE from the comfort of their homes.

What happens during the chat-a-thon?

During our Annual Chat-A-Thon, we:

  • Reconnect with our FORCE friends and welcome new visitors to the site.
  • Raise money to continue FORCE’s important work.
  • Showcase FORCE’s website and programs.
  • Raise awareness about hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.
