Colon Cancer Coalition

Caboose Cup

Take a swing at a new way to raise money for the Colon Cancer Coalition this summer. Caboose Cup is a golf event with a purpose. Each golfer or team donates a certain amount to play 18 holes, and all proceeds go to the Colon Cancer Coalition. Prizes are awarded to the top golfers and many events offer a silent auction. It's a great way to acquire corporate donations as well. One event remains this summer, but that doesn't mean you can't start your own! Contact coloncancercoalition.org.

Youth Rally

More than 30 years after its inception, the Youth Rally remains a community for young people to meet others who live with similar medical conditions. Lasting friendships are formed in an atmosphere that promotes self-confidence and independence. Hollister Incorporated is a proud sponsor. Learn more about Youth Rally 2018 at youthrally.org.
