“Your Colon is 45” Social Media Toolkit

“Your Colon is 45” Social Media Toolkit

The Colorectal Cancer Alliance (CCA) and the American Cancer Society (ACS) have teamed up to present YourColonIs45.org — an initiative aimed at promoting colorectal cancer screening for individuals aged 45 and above.  

The website connects users to the CCA’s quiz for a personalized screening recommendation and the ACS’s screening locator. It also lets users send unique e-cards to family, friends, and colleagues to encourage colorectal cancer screening starting at age 45.  

A free social media toolkit is available for users to share pre-made social media posts promoting on-time screening beginning at 45.
