Join Fight Colorectal Cancer March 5 – 7, 2012 in Washington, DC
Registration is now open!
Cancer funding decision delayed. Time to take action, advocates!
Posted by on July 28th, 2011
Earlier this month, the House Labor, Health and Human Services (HHS), and Education Appropriations Subcommittee announced that it has postponed consideration of its fiscal year (FY) 2012 spending bill until September.
Delayed consideration of this bill, which funds the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), gives colorectal cancer advocates more time to contact their House and Senate lawmakers when they return home in August.
The message: Funding for colorectal cancer research and prevention must be a priority.

You Can Help C3 Win a $25,000 Social Media Grant
Posted by on July 6th, 2009
Facebook, Twitter, blogs, Flickr, YouTube. It’s a new world of real-time communication online that goes way beyond email.
Social media is not a new concept to C3. We introduced our Research & Treatment news and Advocacy blogs over four years ago. Now we’re on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ColorectalCancer) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/FightCRC). What we lack are the resources to take our social media presence to the next level.
Our problem as colorectal cancer advocates is that there are so many wonderful causes competing for your time and attention. To get the attention for colorectal cancer that will help us make a difference against the disease, we know that we need to get our social media campaigns running on a much larger scale. We need thousands of followers and fans instead of hundreds. We need to get people talking about colorectal cancer with their friends and family. People who can talk about colorectal cancer can get others to take action against it.
Enter CommuniCause. It’s a month-long contest run by the MindComet interactive agency to award the winning nonprofit $25,000 worth of services. We want to win this grant and we need your help.
