This year, on Tuesday November 27, 2012, Susie's Cause is partnering with #GivingTuesday to raise funds and make a big difference to the communities we serve.
We absolutely need your help to raise public awareness of the importance of timely screening and its positive impact on reducing colon cancer deaths. A donation of any amount will help us produce more Health Fairs and educate more people and save more lives.
The truth about colon cancer is that one out of every 20 U.S. citizens will experience this disease in their lifetime. You can change that by helping Susie's Cause in their effort to increase awareness, not only about colon cancer, but also about how screening works and how it can save lives.
How Your Donation Can Make a Difference
Your donation on #GivingTuesday will help the upcoming Health Fairs make a bigger impact on the communities we serve. Our Health Fairs focus on underserved communities where statistically colon cancer diagnosis and death rates are alarmingly high. Each event is designed 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.
Every donation helps us get the word out, provide more services and host bigger and better Health Fairs in more communities.
2013 Program
We are currently developing our program for 2013 and plan to kick off the next fair in the Spring during Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Funding for 2013 comes from corporate and public donations. Any amount you wish to give is welcomed and appreciated. Donations made through First Giving are easy, safe, and secure. All donations are sent directly to Susie's Cause.
About #GivingTuesday
#Giving Tuesday is a movement to celebrate and provide incentives to give. It will culminate with a national day of giving on November 27, 2012. This first-of-its-kind effort harnesses the collective power of a unique blend of partners - charities, families, businesses and individuals. #GivingTuesday will harness the power of social media to create a national moment around the holidays that is dedicated to giving, similar to how Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become days that are synonymous with holiday shopping.
