Beers 4 Rears!!!
Colon cancer is the 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S., yet most people don’t talk about it. Colon cancer is preventable by getting routine colonoscopy screenings. There are currently more than 1 million colon cancer survivors in the United States. These statistics were taken from the American Cancer Society’s 2012 Cancer Facts & Figures.
Colorado Colon & Rectal Specialists is proud to announce that we are organizing a fundraiser to promote Colon Cancer Awareness which will help fund local uninsured/under insured colon cancer screenings, and programs for patients undergoing colon/rectal/anal cancer treatments. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the American Cancer Society- Relay for Life and the Colon Cancer Alliance- Undy 5000. Please join us for a fun evening of mingling at Dry Dock Brewing Company in Aurora, CO on Thursday June 12, 2014 from 5-8pm! For more information, please contact us at (303) 840- 8822.
