NYOH Community Cancer Foundation
Colorectal Check Challenge
Did you know that colorectal cancer is now the deadliest cancer for adults under age 50?
The aim of our Colorectal Check Challenge is to spread the word about the importance of cancer screening, raise vital funds to help local cancer patients, and celebrate survivorship.
Just because March is over, doesn’t mean you can’t get screened or spread the word throughout the rest of the year.
About the Colorectal Check Challenge
Thank you to everyone who joined our challenge to both raise awareness about colorectal cancer and funds in March. You may have noticed local businesses spreading our message and NYOH cancer centers decorated in blue proudly showing their support. All funds raised stay local to further patient education and financial assistance for individuals going through cancer treatment.
Kick-Off Panel
We had a great conversation with medical providers, advocates, and survivors on Tuesday, March 3. View photos from the event.
Accept the Challenge
Join us next year! Commit to creating a fundraising page and we’ll send you resources about colorectal cancer, tools and tips for fundraising, and more.
