My Project - Blue Bracelets for Colon Cancer Awareness
------I am helping raise awareness about colorectal cancer and the importance of screening by selling the blue bracelets to raise funds for the Colon Cancer Alliance and the American Cancer Society. All profit will be split between these two organizations. If you are interested in a bracelet, please PM for information. The bracelets will be $2.50 each which includes shipping.

-----The Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA) is the oldest and largest national patient advocacy organization dedicated to ending the suffering caused by colorectal cancer. They will increase screening rates and survivorship by providing support and education and furthering research and advocacy efforts.
When is Dress in Blue Day?
---- It is celebrated on the first Friday of March.
In 2010, Dress in Blue Day will be held on Friday, March 5th.
What is the purpose of Dress in Blue Day?
The purpose of Dress in Blue Day is to promote awareness about colorectal cancer and encourage people to get screened.
Why do we need to raise awareness of Colorectal Cancer?
Because:
· COLORECTAL CANCER IS THE #2 CAUSE OF CANCER DEATH IN THE U.S.
· Over 150,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year.
· Colorectal cancer often has no symptom at all until it's at an advanced stage.
· Colorectal cancer is 80% preventable when detected early.
· You can reduce your risk through regular screening.
· Beginning at age 50 (or earlier if you have a family history), everyone should be screened for colorectal cancer.
---------Individuals, businesses and community groups are all encouraged to participate in Dress in Blue Day, by encouraging friends, family, co-workers and other members of their organization to wear blue. By getting people to talk about colon cancer, and learning about ways to prevent this # 2 CAUSE OF CANCER DEATH IN THE U.S., you could save a life. In addition, you can raise money to support programs like Helpline, Buddy program and other initiatives.
