The Colon Cancer Coalition is a leading source for colorectal cancer education, screening, and patient support, encouraging screening for the nation’s second leading cause of cancer deaths: colorectal cancer. Our signature Get Your Rear in Gear® events are volunteer-driven in communities throughout the United States. Over the years we have granted millions of dollars to local programs that support research, promote early prevention, advance screening, and support patients.

By making the words colon, colorectal, and colonoscopy a part of the everyday language, we believe we can overcome fear and decrease deaths from this largely preventable cancer.
