We wear blue for colorectal cancer, which has the second-highest cancer mortality rate in Brookings County. We wear blue for the seven cases diagnosed on average each year in Brookings County and the 398 cases diagnosed annually on average across South Dakota.
We also wear blue for hope. We wear blue for colorectal cancer, one of the most preventable cancers. We wear blue to highlight the accessible screening options and resources available in Brookings County.
In March, we wear blue for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
In honor of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, the Brookings Colorectal Cancer Awareness Program is dedicated to educating the community about the importance of regular screenings and checkups. By encouraging screenings and healthier lifestyle choices, we aim to reduce the impact of colorectal cancer in Brookings County and beyond.
Stay informed with BCCAP throughout Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month by following us on Facebook and Instagram for updates on events, resources and ways to get involved. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against colorectal cancer.
