Save the Date: Advocate Chat on October 6 @ 8:15PM EDT

Posted by Catherine Knowles on September 8th, 2010

In the past, we have held quarterly conference calls to hear from you about the great work each and every one of you has been doing in the fight against colorectal cancer and to update you on what we have been working on and what Congress has been up to. But you all have been doing too much for us to only hear from you once a quarter!

Starting next month, we will be holding advocate chats once a month. The calls will be held on the first Wednesday of every month at 8:15PM EDT.

Register Today for the October 6 Chat!



On each call, we will be highlighting someone in the “Advocate Spotlight.” The Advocate Spotlight will allow us to shine the light on individuals who are making a difference in the fight against colorectal cancer. Whether you’ve set up a district meeting with your Senators or Representatives, handed out literature at a health fair, organized an awareness walk/race, or put together a fundraiser, congratulations: You’re making a difference in the fight against colorectal cancer!

Would you or someone you know like to be featured in the Colorectal Cancer Coalition Advocate Spotlight? If so, then please send us an email with your advocacy story. Also, please give us a brief description of what you do, and include a picture (so we can feature you on the website as well as on the call). Please send nominations to Advocacy@FightCRC.org.
