Our Mission

In 2025, over 154,000 individuals will be diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer and over 53,000 (~ 34%) will die from the disease. Colorectal Cancer is the second leading cause of adult cancer-related death, as it affects 1 in 23 men and 1 in 26 women annually. While Colorectal Cancer is on the rise, it remains one of the least talked about and most underfunded forms of cancer today. Champions for Colorectal Cancer’s core mission is to raise awareness that this disease is preventable with screening and is highly treatable when detected early!

Champions for Colorectal Cancer, Inc. is fiercely committed to carrying out its clear and actionable mission:

• Increase awareness of Colorectal Cancer among younger generations

• Provide assistance and advocacy to and for individuals/families who have been adversely impacted by Colorectal Cancer

• Raise funding for ongoing Colorectal Cancer research: including but not limited to early diagnosis, better and more advanced treatment options, stronger survival rates, and eventually a cure.
