-The voting period will end 5pm EST November 18th.
-The top 10 vote getters will be selected to have the picture of their dog on the new trailer.
Slogan Contest
You may already be familiar with Road Scholar Transport’s 10 Million Miles to a Cure awareness program featuring trucks dedicated to raising awareness for causes such as Cystic Fibrosis, Stop Bullying, and The American Breast Cancer Foundation (view all causes at www.roadscholarawareness.org). If so, then you know that each truck carries a relevant slogan to the featured organization, such as “On the Road to Granting Wishes” for Make-A-Wish Foundation or “On the Road to Solving the Puzzle” for Autism Speaks.
We now need a clever, fitting slogan for our new dog trailer and we want your ideas! In fact, we will reward the person with the best phrase by not only putting their slogan on our truck but fetching them a $25 gift card to Olive Garden and a $25 dollar gift card for PetSmart. That’s $50 worth the gift cards for just a few words!
So what are you waiting for? Stick out those tongues, say cheese, and submit your photos and slogans to Kristina.brown@roadscholar.com by November 18th!
Winners will be posted on Road Scholar’s social media sites (Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn) and will also be notified via e-mail.
Thanks for entering and good luck!

You’ve seen Road Scholar Transport’s brightly colored tractor trailers spreading awareness throughout the country for some of the most well-known charities and organizations such as The American Breast Cancer Foundation and The American Red Cross as it delivers freight. Individuals have shown their support and gratitude acknowledging that their mothers, daughters, brothers, and friends are currently battling, have survived, or passed away from a condition that our trucks are spreading awareness for. But as we are raising awareness, we’ve realized that we left out one very important member of the family until now…our dog.
Who could forget those long nights your dog stayed by your side when you were sick or rested their furry head on you when you needed some comfort? Always there when you need them, they are indeed man’s (or woman’s) best friend.
Now it’s time to show them what they mean to you. That’s why Road Scholar Transport decided that its next awareness truck is going to the dogs…YOUR dog!
Road Scholar Transport is conducting a two part contest within the upcoming weeks that will have you wagging your tails at the unbelievable prizes.
The first part of the contest asks for your help in naming our new truck. In the past, our trucks have incorporated phrases such as “On the Road to Solving the Puzzle” for Autism Speaks or “On the Road to Granting Wishes” for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. What should we name a truck dedicated to our furry companions? Perhaps…“On the Road to Fetching Awareness for Man’s Best Friend?”
Come on and throw us a bone and we will reward the winner and their dog by fetching them a $25 gift card to Olive Garden and a $25 dollar gift card for PetSmart! Give us a howl with your catchy ideas by e-mail (kristina.brown@roadscholar.com), Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. Start sending your phrases in today!
Not good at creative wording? No need to bark. We’ve saved the best for last…the chance to have YOUR dog’s picture featured on our new tractor trailer!
Within the upcoming weeks, you will be given the opportunity to upload your pooch’s picture on our voting site for others to vote on. The top dogs with the most votes will have their furry faces on Road Scholar’s doggie awareness truck as it travels throughout the country!
Stay tuned to www.roadscholarawareness.org for upcoming information on how and when you can upload your pictures and vote!

Meet Paige Ceaser. Like Richard Weiss, who sparked the trademark “65 roses” when he couldn’t pronounce his condition, Paige is a young four-year-old girl who has been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth.
Knowing that there is no cure YET for the hereditary condition affecting nearly 1,000 additional individuals a year, Paige’s family took immediate action, spreading awareness and hosting events to raise money for a cure. And this year is not any different.
The American Legion Post 781 will once again play host to the 4th annual country concert and motorcycle ride benefitting cystic fibrosis.
The event will take place on Sunday, August 21st at the American Legion Post 781 in Mountain Top, PA and will feature two main events.
The first is a 65 mile motorcycle ride beginning at the Wilkes-Barre Kmart, proceeding through Conyingham Valley and ending at the American Legion Post 781. Those wishing to participate in the ride can register from 9:30 am to 11:30 am at the Wilkes-Barre Kmart with the cost being $10 per person. Individuals will also receive coffee, donuts, and water from Dunkin Donuts with the first 200 registrants receiving thank you bags.
Last year the motorcycle run was rained out, but regardless, the event still raised $5000 with nearly $30,000 throughout the last few years.
The second main event features a concert given by Kartune, Farmers Daughter, Jeanne Zano, Tommy Guns, Lena & South Street, Big Carl and Sundance and Crystal Martinex, who also has Cystic Fibrosis.
The concert starts at 1 pm with admission costing $5.00 and those 12 and under granted entrance for free.
But that’s not all. There will also be food and drinks, including a $5.00 pig roast meal and $1 Coors and soda, raffles, vendors, games, face painting, temporary tattoos, pony rides, Young’s Funny Farm, and more.
Road Scholar Transport’s Cystic Fibrosis tractor trailer will also be at the event furthering the effort to raise awareness for the disease. This 53’ bright red tractor trailer features a young cystic fibrosis survivor surrounded by 65 multi-color roses, the organization’s trademark.
Road Scholar has created an awareness campaign in order to spread awareness for various charities/foundations including The American Breast Cancer Foundation, The International RETT Syndrome Foundation, Make a Wish Foundation, Stop Bullying, and more. Visit www.roadscholarawareness.org to view all of Road Scholar’s awareness trucks.

Her name is Ava Gioe and she is four years old.
Last November, Ava’s parents received the scare of their life, as they watched their child experience a seizure, followed by a major stroke which led to a coma. Ava was immediately air-lifted to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where she remained for nearly three long months. Fortunately, Ava was able awake from the coma but not without some bad news. She had a Difuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), an inoperable brain tumor located in the middle of the brain stem.
Nearly 200 children, commonly aged between 5 and 10 years old, are diagnosed with DIPG a year, with a high fatality rate of 90% within 18 months and 97% within three years (http://www.reflectionsofgrace.org/index.php/diffuse-intrinsic-pontine-glioma-dipg.html).
Ava, however, is determined to survive and has already defied doctors’ odds by walking again and, on Christmas Day, speaking.
But as Ava’s parents do everything they can to provide treatment for their child, with Ava’s mother quitting her job to take care of her, medical bills are adding up.
Marybeth Barrett, daughter of Jim Barrett (owner of Road Scholar Transport) and her husband Mike, who’s son Brayden was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis, a progressive tumor disorder, can relate. Fortunately, they were always able to pay his medical bills. Realizing that not all families are lucky enough to provide for their sick children, she and her husband began to do their own fundraising, including a Christmas raffle which raised over $1300 to provide gifts for those children whose families could not afford to do so because of medical bills.
In doing these fundraisers, Marybeth met the Gioe family, who were holding an Easter Egg Hunt for Ava that her and her husband attended. Inspired by Ava’s story, Marybeth, along with her sister Bridget, decided to hold a benefit for Ava.
When hearing about the fundraiser, many others joined in and volunteered to help in 
the creation and execution of the benefit, including Road Scholar Transport, who has chosen to create an awareness trailer dedicated to “A Miracle for Ava” as well as a cure for brain tumors.
Road Scholar Transport, a trucking company headquartered in Dunmore, PA, has already invested several thousands of dollars in creating awareness trailers for various organizations/causes including Autism Speaks, The American Breast Cancer Foundation, The American Red Cross, and Flight 93. You can learn more about Road Scholar’s ‘Road to a Cure’ by visiting www.roadscholarawareness.org.
The Miracle for Ava benefit will be held on Sunday, August 14th from 2-5 pm at McMullen’s Restaurant on Market Street in Scranton, PA. Tickets cost $20 per person (children 10 & under are free) which can be purchased at the door or bought in advance by contacting Marybeth at marybeth.barrett@roadscholar.com or Bridget at bridget.barrett@roadscholar.com or by calling 800-542-2301.
Painting of a horse to be raffled off at benefit
The benefit will include appetizers, soft drinks, and draft beer. There will also be various basket raffles for your chance to win great prizes.
If you would like to donate an item for the raffle or give a monetary donation, you can do so by contacting Marybeth or Bridget. Companies who donate will be listed as a sponsor of this event and personal donors will be listed as a personal sponsor as well. You can also make a monetary donation to Ava’s family at any PennStar bank under “Friends of Ava Gioe,” or through their website at http://miracleforava.info/. Any contribution will be must appreciated.
Help Ava by purchasing your tickets or making a donation today!

Dogs have been credited with their ability to detect cancer in humans. But why can’t humans do the same?
Professor H. Haick and researchers at Technion wondered the same thing, creating an artificial nose they claim has the ability of sniffing out different types of cancer.
In a study which analyzed the breathe of 80 individuals (both healthy and diagnosed with cancer) the NA-NOSE (Nanoscale Artificial Nose) was able to clearly differentiate which subjects had head, neck and lung cancer, as well as which were healthy, an article in medicalnewstoday.com notes.
According to researchers, this new innovation can be more reliable, quicker, and cost effective than current diagnostic tools, and with further research, has the potential of being used as a screening method, the site explains.
Head and neck cancer is currently the eight most common form of cancer, and with little screening methods, often left undiagnosed and untreated, which can lead to cancer spreading further into the body. NA-NOSE hopes to put an end to this.
So how does NA-NOSE work?
Researchers explain that their artificial nose “uses an array of five gold nanoparticle sensors and computer algorithms to detect patterns of volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath…” being “1,000 times more sensitive…than most of the current state of the art sensors” (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/222919.php).
Although further trials need to be conducted before NA-NOSE can be confirmed and used as a proper diagnostic and screening tool, Road Scholar Transport is continuing its initiative to help spread awareness and save lives with its 10 Million Miles to a Cure Awareness Campaign.
Road Scholar sponsors various charities/foundations for all types of cancer including those that affect children (Alex’s Lemonade Stand and The Children’s Cancer Recovery Foundation), women (The American Breast Cancer Foundation), men (Prostate Cancer Awareness), or both (Pancreatic Cancer Action Network). Get involved and help spread the word to get checked by keeping the freight moving at www.roadscholar.com.
What do you think of Professor Haick and his researchers’ invention? Do you think there needs to be more advanced screening methods for cancer than an artificial nose?

Tyler Jacobson, not even two years old, stumbled away from his South Carolina home Saturday night. Unable to locate him, his mother and her boyfriend immediately called the police. Search parties covered the area but no traces of the boy were found.
As the night went on, the temperature dropped to 38 degrees, as the boy’s parents and authorities worried about hypothermia quickly setting in.
It wasn’t until twelve hours after Tyler was reported missing that the family received a miracle.
One of the members of the search party had been looking for Tyler in the woods about a quarter of a mile from the family’s home, when he heard a cry. It was Tyler.
The toddler, who had been dressed in only a t-shirt and diaper, was not only alive, but fought off hyperthermia thanks to his loyal companion.
The family’s dog, a Labrador mix, stayed by Tyler’s side from the moment he left the house, to the moment he was found, lying close to the boy and keeping him warm.
This is not the first time we heard of dogs saving people’s lives. One of the many reasons they are known as “man’s best friend.”
That’s why Road Scholar Transport is creating a pet awareness trailer as part of our 10 Million Miles to a Cure Awareness Campaign. Joining causes such as Autism Speaks, The Children’s Cancer Recovery Foundation, and The American Breast Cancer Foundation, this 80,000 pound tractor trailer will be traveling the country, spreading pet awareness. Stay tuned to www.roadscholarawareness.org to find out how your dog can be featured on the trailer!
So the next time your dog steals food from your plate or tears up the house, remember, he or she may just save your life one day.
What makes your dog a hero to you?

The American Red Cross is at it again, this time donating $10 million to the Japanese Red Cross Society who is busy aiding residents in Japan.
As a refresher, last Friday Japan was hit by one of the largest and most disastrous earthquakes ever recorded, measuring 8.9 on the richter scale, which triggered off a large tsunami and damaged three nuclear power plants. These events killed thousands of people, caused blackouts throughout the country, the temperature fall below freezing, a volcano to erupt, and hundreds of aftershocks.
Not only has the American Red Cross made an “initial” contribution, but has also sent one of its disaster management experts to Japan to accompany an international team of seven experts to aid the Japanese Red Cross, an article in medicalnewstoday.com notes.
With over two million volunteers, the Japanese Red Cross has been non-stop aiding those people in need; providing meals, relief items, cleanup, transportation to hospitals, decontaminating over 200,000 evacuees, and counseling (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/219243.php).
The American Red Cross is giving Americans the ability to donate to relief efforts in Japan as well through their site at http://www.redcross.org/.
Since 1881, the American Red Cross has been responding to emergencies, offering their services and providing comfort and relief to millions. That’s something that should be recognized and Road Scholar Transport is doing just that with our American Red Cross awareness trailer.
Just as the American Red Cross is providing aid across the United 
States, Road Scholar is spreading awareness nationwide. The 80,000 pound red and white tractor trailer is just one of several Road Scholar trucks spreading hope and awareness for various organizations including The American Breast Cancer Foundation and Flight 93.
