Wall of Champions

Our Wall of Champions will be displayed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. from March 10-22. We will showcase the lives of relentless champions from across the country. Together, we have to fight for more research, more treatment options, and more awareness. Your donation will support our Path to a Cure.

March 6 is the deadline for having your tribute displayed in D.C. from March 10-22, 2024.

This wall is a celebration and an opportunity to honor and remember the Relentless Champions from our community who have touched our lives. As champions and advocates, we are charged with honoring and sharing the stories of people impacted by colorectal cancer.

Why an Installation on the National Mall?

In only 6 years, colorectal cancer is predicted to be the leading cause of cancer deaths for those between ages 20-49. We can change this, by investing in fighting colorectal cancer today.

We must fight for more, now. This installation is our stake in the ground to spotlight colorectal cancer as a national priority. United in Blue is on display while advocates are meeting with members of Congress and highlights the need for us to fight for more: more urgency, more equity, more funding.
