Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Here’s how to get involved and join our relentless pursuit of a cure!

Every March, we celebrate Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. What is our color? BLUE! Why do we fight? What are we fighting for more of? Why should we keep fighting?

We fight for more time. More “good days.” More life. More celebrations.

We fight for more research. More screening. More treatment options. More lives saved.

More community. More answers. More people like YOU.

What is #StrongArmSelfie?

A #StrongArmSelfie is an easy and fun way to show your support in the fight against colorectal cancer. All you need is a smartphone & social media accounts. Take a “selfie” while flexing your best “strong arm” pose. Then, post it online to show your support and encourage colorectal cancer screening. Each post, retweet or share of a #StrongArmSelfie sends $1 to Fight CRC!

Host an Awareness Event!

Raising awareness is a key factor in preventing colorectal cancer. From sushi-thons to golf tournaments, the event options are endless.

2022 Highlights

In 2022, colorectal cancer champions rallied to fight for more funding, more research, more treatment options — more lives saved. With more than 1.5 million survivors in the U.S., our community hasn't yet scratched the surface of what we can do. We locked arms and were – and will continue to be – relentless in our pursuit of a cure!
