Colon Cancer Prevention Project

You don't have to run to be part of the Kicking Butt 5K.

Spend the morning celebrating the survivors who inspire our mission and shining a light on the local programs making a difference every day—from Survivor Support to our Bruce DeArk First Responder Education Program, where prevention has literal boots on the ground.

Bring the whole family (including the dog!). We'll have on-leash pups walking their humans, a pet costume contest, games, face painting, and a Healthy Village full of community resources to explore.

Come walk, cheer, volunteer, or simply be part of a community that knows can prevent colon cancer before it starts.

Everyone is welcome.

As the longtime Head Golf Professional at Audubon Country Club, a Colon Cancer Prevention Project Board Member, and a colon cancer survivor, Eric has dedicated his career—and his voice—to helping others prevent this disease.

This Sunday, July 19, Eric and his team of golf professionals will once again take on the incredible challenge of playing 100 holes of golf in a single day to raise awareness and critical funds for the Colon Cancer Prevention Project.

This year's event is especially significant. As Eric retires from Audubon after an outstanding career, this marks the 15th and final 100 Holes fundraiser—the culmination of a tradition that has inspired countless conversations about screening, prevention, and hope.

Eric has shown us what it means to turn a cancer diagnosis into a lifelong commitment to helping others. His willingness to share his story has encouraged thousands of people to know their risk, get screened, and take action before colon cancer has the chance to change another family's life.

We are endlessly grateful to Eric and the entire Gilliland family for their friendship, leadership, and unwavering belief in our mission.

Help us celebrate Eric's extraordinary legacy by supporting his final 100 Holes fundraiser.

Thank you, Eric, for proving that one person can change countless lives.

Join us at the Kicking Butt 5K on August 29. Register, start a team, donate, or simply help spread the word. Together, we can prevent more cancers, save more lives, and make sure fewer families ever hear the words, "You have colorectal cancer."
