Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC), the nation’s leading advocacy organization for colorectal cancer awareness, research, and policy, is proud to announce the promotion of Anjee Davis to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This pivotal leadership change comes as Fight CRC embarks on its boldest strategic efforts yet, driven by the recently unveiled a new 2025 Strategic Plan and Colorectal Cancer Care Report.

Anjee has been a transformative force during her tenure as President, positioning Fight CRC as a trusted authority in colorectal cancer advocacy. Her leadership has amplified patient voices, driven research priorities, and fostered community engagement. As CEO, Anjee will lead the charge in implementing Fight CRC’s ambitious vision: to secure more time for individuals and families impacted by colorectal cancer by improving outcomes, advancing equity, and accelerating innovation.

Under Anjee’s leadership, Fight CRC will execute key priorities:

• Advancing research breakthroughs by supporting early-career researchers, leveraging data, and convening global experts to accelerate innovation.
• Driving evidence-based care standards as detailed in the Colorectal Cancer Care Initiative to reduce screening and treatment disparities.
• Engaging 500,000 advocates and expanding the reach of educational campaigns to empower patients and survivors with the tools they need to thrive.
• Raising $40M by 2030 through the More Time Campaign to reduce colorectal cancer incidence, increase screenings, and decrease mortality​​.

“Anjee Davis is the right leader at the right time,” said Angie Nicholas, Chair of the Fight CRC Board of Directors. “Her vision, energy, and relentless commitment to patients are exactly what we need to execute our ambitious plans for the future. Under her leadership, we are confident that Fight CRC will continue to transform the colorectal cancer landscape and fight for the time that patients and families deserve.” 

The Colorectal Cancer Care Report emphasizes the urgent need for action, as younger individuals face increasing diagnoses and disparities in care persist. As CEO, Anjee will build on Fight CRC’s progress and ensure the implementation of key initiatives such as expanding access to screening and treatment, harnessing the power of data to inform policy, and activating communities to advocate for lasting change.

“Colorectal cancer steals too much, too soon,” said Anjee Davis. “Every ten minutes, a preventable disease cuts another life short. We must act with urgency to create more time for patients, survivors, and families to live fully and make memories. It is an honor to lead this organization at such a critical moment, and I am committed to driving real change.”

Fight CRC’s mission is more than a fight against cancer; it’s a fight for hope, equity, and more time. As Anjee steps into this new role, the organization is poised to deliver on its promise to reduce the burden of colorectal cancer and improve lives across the globe.
