Committee Prepares for 11th Annual CASUAL Day

Colon and rectal cancers are one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in areas of Northeastern Pennsylvania, with incidence rates 10% above the United States average. By getting your organization or business involved in C.A.S.U.A.L. Day, you can potentially save the lives of friends, co-workers, and family by raising awareness of proper screening guidelines and preventative measures.

Individuals and businesses interested in participating in C.A.S.U.A.L. Day can do so by selecting someone to serve as a team captain. Team captains will be in charge of ordering and distributing C.A.S.U.A.L. t-shirts for $15, and pins, for $5.  The deadline to order T-shirts and Pins is Thursday, March 13th.

On March 27st, dress C.A.S.U.A.L. and spread the word about colorectal cancer prevention and screening.

All proceeds from C.A.S.U.A.L. Day benefit Cancer Institute efforts to raise colorectal cancer awareness and support colorectal cancer screenings for low income, un/underinsured individuals.

Day planning committee (from Left to Right): Pat Lawless, Cancer Institute; Lindsey Fredericks, Cancer Institute; Michael Moran; Mary Densevich; Meegan Possemato; Maura Phillips Staback; and Karen M.
