LEAD FROM BEHIND Advisory Board
A new coalition is forming. Led by the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, colon cancer activists and survivors are teaming up with people across entertainment, sports, media, philanthropy, and tech to rebrand colon cancer and make it famous. The purpose of this effort is to develop a new brand that is culturally relevant, ultimately changing the way we talk about this disease, breaking stigma, making conversations about cancer prevention mainstream, and driving those aged 35-59 to take screening seriously.
Black Outreach Subcommittee for Screening (BOSS) Taskforce
The Black Outreach Subcommittee for Screening, Access, and Advocacy Taskforce (BOSS) is an affinity group of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. The task force is a critical support in achieving our mission goals by addressing the disparate impact of colorectal cancer in the Black community, increasing awareness, and improving access to screening and supportive solutions for patients, families, caregivers, and survivors during and after diagnosis.
