As
you plan your end-of-year giving, please consider making a tax deductible donation to
Susie's Cause. 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 discussion of
the disease and proper screening efforts. The encouraging truth is that
this disease is over 90% curable when detected and treated early.
Donations support community Health Fairs and other programs that raise awareness to make a bigger impact on the communities we serve. These Health Fairs focus on under-served communities where statistically, colon cancer diagnosis and death rates are alarmingly high. Health Fairs 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.
2013 Programs - Community Health Fairs
We are currently developing our programs for 2013 and plan to kick off the next Health 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.

Your donation is tax deductible, completely secure, and sent directly to Susie's Cause.
As
always, we appreciate
your support. Stay healthy. This holiday season, give the gift of peace
of mind by encouraging a loved one to get a colon cancer screening.
If you prefer, you could support Susie’s Cause by hosting an event or fundraiser. Your grassroots events are a great way to honor and remember family members as well as support Susie's Cause. Is there something you would like to do to support Susie's Cause in 2013?
If so, please contact us at (410) 244-1778.
Every donation and event helps us get the word out, provide more services and host bigger and better Health Fairs in more communities.
