Dress in Blue Day is March 4
Dress in Blue Day 2022
What? Dress in Blue Day lets allies everywhere join our mission to end colorectal cancer. By wearing blue, you bring awareness to this disease and support our work — as well as honor all who are impacted by colorectal cancer.
When? Dress in Blue Day is Friday, March 4. All of March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
Why? In 2022, an estimated 151,030 people will be diagnosed with this highly preventable disease. They will join more than 1.4 million colorectal cancer patients and survivors living today. We go blue for them, their families, and their community.
Every Friday in March
Join the Colorectal Cancer Alliance for a Blue Bag Lunch, happening each Friday through National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month (March) at 12 pm ET on the Alliance’s Facebook page.
What is the Blue Bag Lunch?
Every Friday, we’re broadcasting live on Facebook to discuss March awareness, share stories, and talk about our patient-centered programs. We’ll have trivia, special guests, and March social media highlights, as well!
A rotating cast of emcees and special guests will keep things fresh and fun, as we learn how to March for access this awareness month.

How did Dress in Blue Day begin?
It all began with Anita Mitchell, Colorectal Cancer Alliance volunteer, Never Too Young Advisory Board member, and Colon Cancer Stars founder. Anita, who was battling stage IV colorectal cancer and lost a close friend and father to the disease, saw a need to bring greater awareness to a cancer not many people wanted to discuss.
In 2006, she worked with her children’s school to coordinate a recognition day with incredible success. In 2009, Anita brought the Dress in Blue Day concept to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. Together, we took the program nationwide!
