Special thanks
Thank you to everyone who supported the Blue Hope Bash Indianapolis in 2023! Our Indy-area allies enjoyed an unforgettable evening at the beautiful Ritz Charles Carmel. Guests enjoyed a cocktail reception, dinner, a lively program, and a silent auction. We are thrilled to announce that the event raised more than $320,000. 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.
