The Blue Hope Bash Denver, hosted by the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, annually raises awareness and funds for colorectal cancer.
The Blue Hope Bash Denver is part of a premier Colorectal Cancer Alliance fundraising series, the leading charity gala for colorectal cancer prevention, support, and research in the world. These events occur in cities across the country and are organized by dedicated volunteers local to the host city. The Bashes highlight our collective dedication and resolve to end this disease. It stands to transform the paths taken by patients and caregivers by inspiring greater support and more powerful resources.
Thank you to everyone who supported the Blue Hope Bash Denver in 2023! We are thrilled to announce that we have raised more than $133,000. This will significantly impact the colorectal cancer community, including continuing our efforts to educate the public about the importance of early detection and screening, providing support to those affected by colorectal cancer, and funding critical research to improve treatment options and find a cure. By working together, we can end colorectal cancer in our lifetime.
Special thanks to Fortissimo Dueling Pianos for performing and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for serving as our 2023 location venue. It is a privilege for the Colorectal Cancer Alliance to recognize the leadership and vision of the past Bash chairs responsible for bringing the Blue Hope Bash to Denver.
