Wear your support for cervical cancer education.

Make the Connection is a public education campaign sponsored by Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation (CRPF) and Step Up Women’s Network, with funding from Merck & Co., Inc., to raise awareness and understanding of the connection between cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV) - a common virus that causes this devastating disease.

The campaign provides tools and facts to encourage women to make the connection with healthcare professionals, friends, daughters, sisters, mothers and other loved ones to share knowledge, get regular screenings and make healthy choices, and inspire each other to beat cervical cancer and protect their health and lives.

So connect with your friends, daughters and other people you enjoy and care about to create your own personal statement to help in the fight against cervical cancer.

By ordering a free Make the Connection bracelet kit, you will be helping to advance cervical cancer education and outreach. For every pair of bracelet kits ordered, Merck will donate one dollar to Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation, up to $100,000, for cervical cancer awareness and screening programs among medically underserved women.
