New York Proton Center’s New Website Ranks Among the Nation’s Best In the 2024 Cancer Awareness Advertising Awards Program

Bedford, N.H., April 30, 2025 — SilverTech, an award-winning digital experience agency, in collaboration with the New York Proton Center (NYPC), is proud to announce their recognition as Gold Award winner in the 2024 Cancer Awareness Advertising Awards Program. This prestigious accolade honors their exceptional work in promoting cancer awareness and education.

The Cancer Awareness Advertising Awards (CAA Awards) is the nation’s premier competition exclusively dedicated to recognizing outstanding marketing and advertising efforts that promote cancer-related products and services. Only projects specifically designed, printed, published, and distributed for the purpose of cancer awareness are eligible for entry into this prestigious annual program. The Gold Award is bestowed upon organizations that demonstrate excellence in advertising and marketing.

SilverTech and NYPC's award-winning website was designed to educate the public about the benefits of proton therapy, an advanced form of radiation treatment that targets cancer cells with precision, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The new website was designed to give users a modern digital experience, utilizing patient testimonials and educational content to effectively communicate the advantages of proton therapy to a broader audience.

"We are honored to receive this recognition alongside the New York Proton Center," said Nick Soggu, CEO of SilverTech. "Our collaborative efforts aimed to create a website that not only informs but also inspires hope for those affected by cancer. This award underscores our commitment to leveraging digital experiences to make a positive impact on people's lives."

Melissa Weisstuch, Marketing & Communications Manager at NYPC, added, "Educating patients and the public about innovative cancer treatments is a cornerstone of our mission. Partnering with SilverTech allowed us to effectively share the benefits of proton therapy, and this award is a testament to the success of that partnership."

According to the American Cancer Society, more than one million people in the United States are diagnosed with cancer each year. As marketing professionals, it is our responsibility to educate and inform communities about cancer risk factors, early detection, diagnosis, and available treatment services.
