Colon Cancer STARS, a Washington-based nonprofit dedicated to colorectal cancer awareness, patient support, and advocacy, is proud to announce its participation in Project B.L.U.E., a national initiative focused on increasing awareness and education about colorectal cancer during March Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

Project B.L.U.E. brings together organizations across the country to promote prevention, early detection, and community education around colorectal cancer, one of the most preventable cancers when caught early. By participating in Project B.L.U.E., Colon Cancer STARS continues its mission to ensure individuals and families have access to information, resources, and support throughout their colorectal cancer journey.

When it comes to cancer, lived experience is not a side story. It is a source of expertise.

A recent Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center article highlights something Colon Cancer Stars has believed from the beginning: when patients and caregivers are meaningfully engaged, cancer care improves. Research becomes more relevant. Clinical trials become more accessible. Communication becomes clearer. Outcomes can change.

From March 9-11, 2025, Colon Cancer STARS will be in Washington, D.C., joining survivors, caregivers, and advocates nationwide at Call-on Congress. This powerful event, hosted at the Hilton Arlington National Landing, is an opportunity to come together, share stories, and push for critical Action in the fight against colorectal cancer.

Download and Share Our Graphic – Our "I Wear Blue For ________" graphic is designed for you to personalize. Write in the name of a loved one who has been impacted by colorectal cancer—whether they’re in treatment, a survivor, or have passed away—and share it on your social channels.

Every March, people across the country wear blue in support of colorectal cancer awareness—but few know the inspiring story behind Dress in Blue Day and how one person’s determination turned it into a national movement.

Colon Cancer STARS is thrilled to share that our dedication to advocating for colorectal cancer awareness has been recognized with the David Jagelman, MD, Award for Advocacy in Colorectal Cancer from the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS).
