U.S. Chamber of Commerce awards Aflac and the Aflac Cancer Center for

partnering in the fight against pediatric cancer.

COLUMBUS, Ga., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Last night, the relationship that started over ten years ago between Aflac and the Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta was honored with a U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Corporate Citizenship Award.
