Please share this with a health care professional in your network. 💙

Younger adults affected by colore**al cancer may interact with primary care providers, emergency departments, gynecologists, nurses, navigators, gastroenterologists, and other professionals throughout their journey.

That is why CRC Equity is glad to help spread the word about the FREE Early Onset Colore**al Cancer ECHO from the American Cancer Society and Project ECHO.

From October 2026 through February 2027, five monthly sessions will help health care professionals strengthen their knowledge around early detection and equitable care for younger adults.

Topics include the latest early-onset CRC data, minimizing delays in diagnosis, risk assessment and communication, screening, and patient navigation.

📅 First session: October 9th
💻 FREE and open to all

Tag or send this to someone in health care who needs to see it.

Sometimes partnership looks like saying “yes” when there is less than 24 hours to make something happen.

Since 2023, CRC Equity has used Pinnacle BioLabs FIT tests to provide free, take-home colore**al cancer screening to more than 500 Americans between the ages of 18 and 75.

Today, we're excited to share that we're building on that history through a new partnership with Pinnacle BioLabs.

Tomorrow at The King Center, CRC Equity will have 20 FREE FIT kits available for the community after Pinnacle offered to match our purchase test for test and arrange complimentary overnight delivery to Atlanta.

Why are we pushing so hard to make screening accessible?

Colore**al cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death among Americans under age 50. We also know its burden is not shared equally across populations.

For people at average risk, routine screening begins at 45.

If you've been waiting to get screened, come see us tomorrow.

If you're younger than 45 but experiencing symptoms such as blood in your stool, re**al bleeding, persistent changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, or ongoing fatigue, please don't let your age convince you to ignore them. Symptoms warrant a conversation with a healthcare professional and appropriate evaluation.

We only have 20 FIT kits, and we expect them to go quickly.

Thank you to Charlie Balentine and the Pinnacle BioLabs team for responding so quickly and helping us put another tool for early detection directly into the hands of our community.

More than 500 screenings brought us to this moment.

Now, let's reach the next 500.

There is something powerful about seeing Atlanta come together like this.

This Saturday, people representing cultures and communities from around the world will gather at The King Center for the Beloved Community International Expo.

CRC Equity gets to be part of that story.

Dr. King’s vision of the Beloved Community challenges us to imagine communities where dignity, opportunity, and care extend to everyone. For us, health equity belongs in that vision.

That’s why we’ll be on Sweet Auburn with our MegaColon and an incredible group of partners helping families have conversations about colore**al cancer prevention, early detection, screening, advocacy, and support.

This is bigger than an exhibit.

It is an opportunity to meet people where they are and remind them that their health matters.

📅 Saturday, September 12th
⏰ 11 a.m.–5 p.m. ET
📍 The King Center | Atlanta
🎟️ FREE

Atlanta, come be part of it.

Atlanta, mark your calendar. Next Saturday is going to be special. 🌎

On September 12th, The King Center will welcome families from across Atlanta and beyond for the FREE Beloved Community International Expo.

CRC Equity is honored to be part of it.

We’re bringing our 20-foot interactive MegaColon to Sweet Auburn and creating a space where people can learn about colore**al cancer prevention, early detection, screening options, and resources in an engaging and approachable way.

We’ll also be joined by an incredible group of partners helping us connect education to action and support.

📅 Saturday, September 12th
⏰ 11 a.m.–5 p.m. ET
📍 The King Center | Atlanta
🎟️ FREE

Bring the family. Experience the cultures. Enjoy the food and entertainment.

Then come find the giant colon. Trust us, you won't miss it. 😊

Cancer can change a person's life. No one should have to navigate what comes next alone.

That's why we’re especially grateful that Cancer Hope Network (CHN) will be represented next Saturday at CRC Equity's activation during The King Center's Beloved Community International Expo.

As our Peer Support Resource Partner, CHN is providing resources that will allow attendees to connect with trained volunteer mentors for peer support or learn how they can become mentors themselves.

We'll spend the day talking about colore**al cancer prevention, early detection, and screening. Cancer Hope Network helps us extend that conversation to support, connection, and life after diagnosis.

Thank you to Beth, April, and the entire CHN team for saying yes to this partnership.

Atlanta families, here is something you do not see every day.

You have probably never walked through a giant colon before, but on September 12th, you can. 👀

BeastRob and the Colore**al Cancer Equity Foundation will bring the interactive exhibit to the Beloved Community International Expo at The King Center in Atlanta.

The MegaColon turns complex health information into a colorful, interactive experience for adults and families. Stop by to learn about risk factors, warning signs, prevention, early detection, and colore**al cancer screening options.

Please share this event with churches, neighborhood associations, fraternities, sororities, and community groups.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT 💙 | Fight Colore**al Cancer

Awareness matters. Resources matter. And sometimes, hearing from someone who truly understands the journey matters most of all.

We’re grateful to have Fight CRC joining our September 12th activation with trusted screening education, patient resources, advocates, volunteers, and a national community committed to ensuring fewer people face colore**al cancer alone.

Their team isn’t simply sending materials—they’re helping us create meaningful conversations.

That’s partnership.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT 🎉 | BeastRob

Health should include joy.

That’s one of the many reasons we’re excited to have BeastRob alongside CRC Equity at The King Center on September 12th.

BeastRob brings movement, encouragement, community, and a powerful reminder that taking care of ourselves can be something we do with joy—not fear.

Together, we’re creating an activation where people can learn, laugh, move, ask questions, and leave better equipped to protect their health.

Because healthier communities are stronger communities. 💙

Tag someone who brings joy to your health journey.

Sometimes taking care of the people we love starts with a conversation. 💙

Maybe it’s asking about your family’s health history. Maybe it’s encouraging someone to talk with their doctor. Or maybe it’s reminding someone you love that colore**al cancer screening generally begins at age 45 for adults at average risk, and some people may need to start earlier.

As BeastRob partners with Colore**al Cancer Equity Foundation for the Beloved Community International Expo, we’re encouraging families to have these conversations now, not someday.

Who first encouraged you to take your health seriously? Give them some love in the comments, or share this with someone whose health matters to you.
