CTCCCP Colorectal Cancer Social Media Awareness Event!

Dear CTCCCP Coalition Members and Partners,   March is colorectal cancer awareness month. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American Indians and Alaska Natives. This year CRIHB and the CTCCCP Coalition will have a social media competition during March to see which organization can raise the most awareness for colorectal cancer.    Join us in raising awareness of the importance of colorectal cancer screening and win a prize for you and your organization. The winning team will be announced on April 5th, 2021. More details below!

How to Participate

Post a photo, video, or statement sharing why colorectal cancer is important to you and your organization. Ask your social media team or social media administrator to post on behalf of your organization. Tag the California Rural Indian Health Board, Inc. on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Instagram, and use both of our hashtags on each post to count towards your entry #CTCCCPgoesblue and #CRIHBCTCCCP. Each post = 1 entry (entries will be based on using the required two hashtags). Post as much as possible, be creative, and have fun!
