Last year alone, over 50,000 people died of colon cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths of men and women. This is due, in part, to the lack of comfort about discussing the disease and proper screening efforts. The encouraging truth is that this disease is over 90% curable when detected and treated early.
This year on Tuesday November 27, 2012, Susie’s Cause is partnering with #GivingTuesday to raise funds to support our communities. All donations are sent directly to Susie’s Cause.
Can you see it in your heart to help us with this important goal? Every donation helps us get the word out, provide more services and host bigger and better Health Fairs in more communities.
Health Fairs
Your donation on #GivingTuesday will help our upcoming Health Fairs make a bigger impact on the communities we serve. These Health Fairs focus on underserved communities where statistically, colon cancer diagnosis and death rates are alarmingly high. Each event is designated to provide a day of overall health education with a particular focus on colon cancer screening and prevention combined with entertainment, fun, and food for the entire family. Held in conjunction with local hospitals, medical centers and health organizations, the fairs provide an opportunity for the community to take advantage of screenings for blood pressure, heart rate and other services conducted by our partner health institutions.
