OKLAHOMA CITY — The OU Cancer Institute is asking high school students across the state to help it raise awareness and money to support cancer patients in Oklahoma.

Information on the Oklahoma Students Care initiative was sent to high schools across the state, along with a letter from first lady Kim Henry asking students to make a difference.

"Cancer is one of the most pressing public health issues in our state, and I am confident that students will be part of the solution," Henry said.
