Bridget Byrnes is fundraising
Help Us Fight Colon Cancer in Memory of Moira Byrnes
This year on March 29th 2024 we are hosting our 3rd annual Shooting For A Cure 3v3 basketball tournament. It will take place at 12PM at Pearl River High School. This fundraiser is in memory of Moira Byrnes who was taken from us far too early from Colon Cancer. Last year we donated over $10,000 to Colon Cancer Coalition. Please help us achieve our goal of raising $10,000 this year!

Purple Diamond Divas is fundraising
Honoring Randy Lee Terry Jr.: Colon Cancer Fundraiser
Good day everyone! We are Purple Diamond Divas of Fayetteville, NC. We are a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is giving back to the community. We have partnered with Imperial Nation to put together a fundraiser to not only honor our late recipient who succumbed to his illness but to bring awareness to Colon Cancer and the effects it has on our community; mainly our brothers, fathers, cousins, uncles, and grandfathers.

This fundraiser is in honor of Randy Lee Terry Jr, formerly known within his community as DJ Swift. Randy was born on February 1, 1978, in Harlem, NY. Randy's love of music, which evolved into him becoming DJ Swift, the Poconos' #1 DJ, began at an early age as he would never leave the house without his "My First Sony" Walkman and a cassette tape that included his favorite songs. For more than 20 years, he blessed the Poconos and the Tri-State area with his gift and was the go-to DJ if you wanted your event to be taken to the next level and dance until your feet hurt. He received many accolades while serving his community. Among them was the Monroe County Image Award for Community Entertainer of the Year. He was also the NAACP Freedom Fund 50 Years of Hip Hop Honoree posthumously for his dedication, inspiration, and love for the culture. He always said, "It's not about me, it is about the music and the smooth transitions."

Sadly, on November 26, 2019, Randy was riddled with shocking news. On that day, he was diagnosed with Colon Cancer at St. Luke's Hospital. Despite the shocking discovery, he did not let the news of Stage IV cancer get him down as he continued to live, laugh, and enjoy life to the fullest. Right by his side was his best friend, his loving and devoted wife, Shaquona Terry, to get him through even the toughest of times. His wife encouraged him to create a bucket list of all the things he wanted to do before he became unable, and she made sure all but one came to fruition.

On July 22, 2022, Randy succumbed to his diagnosis peacefully with his loving wife by his side and surrounded by loved ones who will strive to honor his memory by living their lives to the fullest. Randy touched and enriched many lives with his gentle, kind, and humble personality and, of course, his silly sense of humor. He was a dedicated father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend who will be greatly missed.

So on March 29th, we want to honor him by donating to the Colon Cancer Coalition where he began his cancer trials. Cancer is a grave illness and we want to help researchers by finding a cure for this disease. We can't do it alone, so we are asking for your help.

Allie Norman is fundraising
10 Years of Marching Forth for Aimee Norman
Aimee. Aimee Anne. Aims. Aimers. Ms. Norman.

It's hard to believe it has been ten years since her flip-flops last graced our halls because her spirit is still alive and well. Aimee was a giver. She used much of her time to better the lives of those around her. So it seems only fitting that we try and do the same on this momentous anniversary.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness month -- Colorectal Cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States and the second most common cause of cancer deaths among men and women combined. We are raising money to benefit the Colon Cancer Coalition (Get Your Rear in Gear & Tour de Tush), and any donation will help make an impact. This organization works to empower local communities to promote prevention and early detection of colon cancer and to provide support to those affected.

Please help us reach our goal of $10,000! If you donate $10 or more towards the Colon Cancer Coalition, you will receive an Aimee picture magnet containing a song lyric from one of her favorite musicals, RENT. We hope this memento makes you smile and always reminds you to live a little bit more like Aimee and "measure your life in love." March fo(u)rth!

Jason Kaufer is fundraising
Mitzvah Project - Colon Cancer Awareness
On Behalf Of Spencer Kaufer:

I will be celebrating my Bar Mitzvah on May 14, 2022. My Mitzvah Project is inspired by two of the most important women in my life. The very different stories of my mother and paternal grandmother clearly prove what will happen when colon cancer is not caught and treated early and what can happen when it is caught and treated early.

Death from colon cancer is preventable. The disease of colon cancer itself cannot be prevented. However, the survival rate for colon cancer is 90% if it is caught and treated in its early stages. Unfortunately, only 40% of colon cancers are being diagnosed in the early stages.

At the age of 68, my grandmother was diagnosed with colon cancer. She had never been screened for colon cancer and, out of fear, ignorance or both, ignored numerous symptoms of colon cancer for a very long time. By this time, the cancer had spread to her entire liver and both of her lungs. We were told that the cancer had likely been growing and spreading for several years before the diagnosis was made.

My mother, on her 48th birthday, was diagnosed with colon cancer. Unlike my grandmother, she went to her doctor with the first sign of a symptom. Although her symptom could have easily been explained away with much more benign medical conditions, her doctor advised her to have a colonoscopy anyway to “just be sure that it was nothing more.” Much to everyone’s surprise a large six-centimeter mass was found in her colon and the pathology confirmed that it was malignant. She immediately had surgery. Miraculously, her tumor classified as Stage I, indicating that there were no signs that the cancer spread beyond the colon.

On April 19, 2022, my grandmother will be dead for eight years. On December 21, 2021, we celebrated my mother being cancer free for four years. One simple test made the difference.

The Colon Cancer Coalition’s focus is on educating the community about the importance of colorectal cancer screening. Since 2004, millions of dollars have been granted by the Colon Cancer Coalition to local programs that promote early prevention, screening and patient support services for this disease. By making the words colon, colorectal and colonoscopy a part of the everyday language, it is believed that we can overcome the stigma and fear and decrease deaths from this largely preventable cancer.

March is colon cancer awareness month. I am committed to raising at least $2,500 by the end of March 2022 to support the efforts of the Colon Cancer Coalition in preventing unnecessary deaths due to late detected colon cancer. Please help me in this important cause and please pass this plea on to anyone and everyone that you feel may be able to help.

Thank you,

Spencer

Mustache Movember
What’s up guys and girls? It’s your boys Aaron, Josh, and Jake. We’ve decided to take on Mission Mustache Movember, a tongue twister, we know. But like a tongue twister, we like a challenge. That is why we created this collaborative community movement inspired by the many people that suffer from colon cancer.

As part of Mission Mustache Movember, we have made it our duty to not shave a single hair off our mustache area.

The campaign is designed to raise awareness and money to the already growing organization, Colon Cancer Coalition (Get Your Rear in Gear & Tour de Tush). All donations go directly to CCC in hope to help our tushes in trouble. To join the fam all
you gotta do is grow out a groovy stache for the full month of November.

$1 each can Help Colon Cancer Coalition Reach More Lives
Hi, I'm Tania Haaf, and I am launching this GoFundMe campaign to support the Colon Cancer Coalition, a vital organization dedicated to improving health outcomes by breaking down barriers to colorectal cancer screening.

Here is a picture of my husband John and daughter Erica. At 53 years old he lost his battle with colon cancer last October. This will be our second year at the Get your Rear in Gear to raise money for colon cancer. The walk/run will be on Sunday October 12th in MN.

If we can have every one donate just $1 each and we reach 1,000 people just like that we can raise $1,000 to fight colon cancer!!

Together, we can empower our community to advocate for their health through grassroots solutions and education.

Your generous donations will directly impact the lives of those in need. Here are just a couple of ways your support can make a difference:

Providing free educational resources to raise awareness on the importance of colorectal cancer screening.

Funding local initiatives that help individuals access necessary screening and treatment services.

Let's unite to help the Colon Cancer Coalition continue their crucial mission. Every little bit counts, and your contribution can spark real change. Thank you for your support!
