(HEP B 2011 Calendar)

Enthusiastic and passionate female and male Asian American models wanted for a 2012 hepatitis b awareness calendar that will encourage the public to "be a hero and see a doctor who tests for hepatitis b." Ages 25 to 65 and a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area preferred. A pregnant mom is also sought.
 
Liver cancer is the deadliest cancer in America, and one of the leading causes of deaths for Asian/Pacific Islander Americans. Most liver cancer is caused by the hepatitis B virus. The Hep B Free campaign is ending this deadly disease and it is leading the country as a healthcare reform model. It's success stems from community support and enthusiasm. This calendar project is part of that community involvement. Based on the successful SF Hep B Free campaign, other counties and cities are starting to replicate its model. They include Los Angeles, Orange County, Santa Clara, Alameda, Long Beach, San Mateo, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC.
 
DATE(S): August 2011, One full day (8 hour) commitment, date and time TBA
