Search for the Cause - We just might stop cancer if we can find out why it starts

Mt. Tamalpais Award

The Mt. Tamalpais Award honors these seven recipients for their commitment to protecting the health and well-being of our community. Together, we seek to investigate how exposures in our daily lives increase the risk of cancer, reduce harmful environmental conditions and educate communities on healthy lifestyle choices; we come together to continue the Search for the Cause.

Thank you on behalf of Search for the Cause, Teens for Safe Cosmetics, Healthy Schools Initiative (HSI) and Stop the Spray Marin for your magnificent contributions to our earth and to our future generations.
