Planned giving

"There are blessings even in our pain. Even in the pain of a cancer diagnosis, it can help us live more present, more grateful and enjoying the little things in life. It can help reorder the loves of our life. It's more important how we lived our life rather than the length of our life. I’m hopeful that my story will help others know that they are not alone and organizations like the Alliance and the colorectal cancer community are here to listen and help in any way possible. Let’s help each other get through it.”

Jason Zachary was a father, husband, and colorectal cancer patient who the Alliance had the honor of being connected with. He was an active donor, advocate, and volunteer for the organization who we lost too young at age 51 in November of 2023.

As part of his support, he made a generous gift in his will to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance to invest in research and help families who are also facing colorectal cancer. Thank you to Jason and the Zachary family for investing in the future of the Alliance.
