The United In Blue installation features 27,400 flags placed on the National Mall, "a visual reminder that by 2030, colorectal cancer is expected to be the No. 1 cause of cancer death for those under the age of 50."
The rally, held adjacent to the installation, brings patients, survivors, medical professionals, and others into a community of conversation and support. The rally is followed by a celebration dinner and a day of advocacy and policy on Capital Hill.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, if you have questions about cancer prevention and testing, or if you would like to get involved in supporting and advocating for others in the fight against cancer, reach out to Fight Colorectal Cancer or one of the participating organizations to be connected with resources, support communities, and volunteer opportunities.
Join Fight CRC as we welcome the colorectal cancer community to rally together at our United in Blue installation. United in Blue is not just an impactful installation: Itโs a call to action. Our community is united and working together to make impactful policy change. No one person or organization can win this fight alone.
