Our names are Soumya Salapati and Aditi Raguraman, and we are students from Westview High School HOSA – Future Health Professionals. This April, for Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we’re fundraising to increase awareness about the rise of oral cancer in young adults and supporting the organizations working to prevent, detect, and treat it.

Oral cancer is often diagnosed late because early symptoms are subtle and easy to miss. With increasing cases linked to HPV, chronic inflammation, and delayed screenings, education and early detection are more important than ever.

All funds raised will be donated to the OHSU Orthodontic Alumni Association. Your support helps advance research, patient care, and community awareness.

Thank you for helping us make an impact during Oral Cancer Awareness Month!
