COLON CANCER COALITION FOUNDATION
To increase colorectal cancer screening, reduce preventable deaths, and support patients and survivors by educating communities, funding local screening and patient-support programs, and mobilizing grassroots fundraising through community events.
About COLON CANCER COALITION FOUNDATION
The Colon Cancer Coalition Foundation is a Minneapolis-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on preventing colorectal cancer through community education, screening access, patient support, and research funding. The organization operates a nationwide network of volunteer-led events — including the Get Your Rear in Gear 5K run/walk series and the Tour de Tush bike rides — that raise money locally and direct funds back to community screening and support programs. The Coalition also administers competitive local grants to remove barriers to screening, partners with medical centers and survivor-support platforms, and provides resources for people diagnosed with colorectal cancer. In recent years the organization has emphasized reducing health disparities by funding programs that help uninsured, underinsured, and undocumented patients obtain screening and follow-up care.
Notable achievements

Local screening & patient-support grant program
Operates a year-round grants program (reviewed biannually) that funds community clinics, patient assistance, and screening initiatives — including grants targeted to uninsured, underinsured, and undocumented patients to cover colonoscopies and related care.
Survivorship & peer-support partnerships
Expanded survivorship services by funding access to digital survivorship tools (including sponsored seats on The After Cancer app) and supporting peer-mentorship and resource programs for people after diagnosis and treatment.
