50 May Be the New 40, but Screening Can’t Wait

Say happy birthday to loved ones due for a colon cancer screening with our animated e-card. It's not always easy to talk those you love into making healthy decisions, but we hope this card helps to break the ice and encourages them to schedule a screening. You could save someone's life, and that's the best birthday gift you could give. Wish someone a happy, healthy birthday today.

Blue Note Fund Celebrates One Year Anniversary

This month marks the first year anniversary of this unique grant program for colon cancer patients in treatment. In 2011, we awarded more than 400 awards totaling $120,000 to those in financial need after receiving more than 1,000 applications. Donors like you helped survivor Kristi get back on her feet. We want to help even more families in 2012, but we need your help! Please donate today.
