 Help Us Turn DC Blue for Colon Cancer
This unique week-long campaign will be held September 26 - October 3, 2010 with the goal of bringing the community together in a declaration of support for survivors and to stress the importance of getting a screening test. Many Congresspeople and local businesses have come on board as supporters of DC Goes Blue, and the list continues to grow. Come out and join us at one of our daily events during the week including happy hours, health fairs and even a Colon Cancer Awareness Night at Nationals Stadium. The week will culminate in the inaugural DC Undy 5000. We hope to see you there!
