A short time ago, a beautiful young woman with
everything to live for succumbed to colon cancer. A loving family and
two beautiful children were left to wonder. Her vision was that no other
family would experience the pain that her family endured. Susan did not
live long enough to share her vision, however, her
legacy will carry on. In her honor The
Susan Cohan Kasdas Colon Cancer Foundation
was formed. The Foundation will dramatically reduce the deaths from colon
cancer across the globe. We are taking a revolutionary approach to
educating the public about the risk for this dreaded disease. We
will be in the trenches, taking this fight to the streets, with new and
innovative grass roots campaigns. Our message is aimed at all age
groups and cultures at risk. We will remove the myths and fears of
proper screening and insure that everyone regardless of insurance
coverage or financial means has access to early detection and proper
care.
Colon
Cancer Screening Month Kick OffA Success
Memories were certainly made on Friday April 17, 2009 as the Susan Cohan Kasdas
Colon Cancer Foundation held a benefit celebrating the kick off of April as
National Colon Cancer Screening Month. The theme for the hugely successful gala
was “Memories” and featured live 50’s through ‘80’s music performed by the
multi-talented band HERO and the silky harmonies of Smooth Teaze. The money
raised will support Susie’s Cause educational programs aimed at reducing the
worldwide death rate of Colon Cancer.
Foundation President David Cohan thanked the Board members for their tremendous
support in making the benefit such a success. Mr. Cohan recognized State Senator
James Brochin’s contribution working with Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley to
officially proclaim April as National Colon Cancer
Screening Month.
We want to continue this momentum so
please join us October 4-5, 2009 for our annual 5K Run and Golf Tournament.[More details]
