The public has spoken, the votes have been tallied, and the winners of the first-ever fan-driven Fright Night Awards (presented by Cancer Bites) have been announced. Cancer Bites used the Fright Night Awards to publicize and educate the public on blood cancers and to help survivors and their loved ones bite back.
“Our goal with Cancer Bites is to provide those living with a blood cancer, caregivers, and their loved ones access to critical information and support tools they need to navigate a very difficult journey,” stated Dr. Julie Vose, chair of the Cancer Bites expert panel and chief of Hematology/Oncology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. “There are more than 70 types of blood cancer; it is among the most common cancers in our country. It is time to raise the level of public awareness and rally support.”
Creator/co-executive producer of FOX Teen Choice Awards Mike Burg is a blood cancer survivor who feels the Fright Night Awards platform “presents a unique opportunity to raise awareness for blood cancer programs and to generate a broad national dialogue.”
“Bringing a touch of entertainment and fun together during a time that celebrates Halloween is really rewarding,” said Burg. “Our ultimate goal is to rally the public to increase overall awareness of blood cancers.”
Vampires proved to be super popular among Fright Night Awards voters, with The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, and Twilight well respected on the list of winners.
