The State of NJ Youth Cancer Awareness Badge , which began as a project of the Gloucester County Cancer Coalition Youth work group through Tom Johnson has now partnered with the State of NJ Library to raise cancer awareness and to promote C.E.E.D  through out Gloucester County. The State Library's marketing department designed a Healthy Families book for children from the questions developed by the County Coordinator. The child then reads the questions in the book to an adult, the answers the questions, then returns the book to the librarian and the child receives a Youth Cancer Awareness Badge. The adult that answered the questions in the book will receive a certificate.
