Mark your calendars and join us for #GivingTuesday.
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. Our Health Fairs focus on preventative education for people of all ages in communities where statistically, colon cancer diagnosis and death rates are alarmingly high. Please consider starting this holiday season out right by donating to support our Health Fairs in 2013.
Think about it. One out of 20 U.S.
citizens will experience colon cancer in their lifetime. Last year alone, over
50,000 people died of colon cancer. How can that be when this disease is over
90% curable when detected and treated early? Still, colon cancer remains the
second leading cause of cancer-related deaths of men and women. People are
dying because they are not finding the cancer soon enough. This is due, in
part, to the lack awareness about screening and the difficulty that some find
in discussing the disease and reporting symptoms.
But what can you do? You can help
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.
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.
“Colon cancer falls especially hard
on underserved communities and we need to get the message out about how to
prevent and treat it,” says David Rodman Cohan, president of Susie’s Cause.
Susie’s Cause, works
to eliminate colon cancer through the development and dissemination of
educational programs focused on prevention, early screening and detection, and
aggressive therapeutic intervention. This cause is up close and personal to
many people who have lost loved ones, including Susie’s Cause President and
Founder David Rodman Cohan, who created the non-profit Colon Cancer Foundation
after his 40-year-old daughter and mother of two young children died of the
disease.
We do not want to
keep hearing heartbreaking stories like that.
Your donation could
save a life.
