Even the greatest writers of all time began with just simply sharing a story. We’d like to hear yours. It’s time, once again, for the “It’s Always Something” Teen Essay Contest presented by Gilda’s Club Chicago. We are looking for anyone in 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grades to put pen to paper, so to speak, about their experience with cancer – either through a personal diagnosis or that of a family member or friend. Students have the opportunity to win scholarships and prizes decided by a panel of celebrity judges. Entry forms and essays must be received electronically by December 12. All of the details can be found in the flyer and at the links listed below. Contact Jamie Mazer Wiener with any questions.
