Duluth Huskies Partner with St. Luke's and the Colon Cancer Coalition to Host Colon Cancer Awareness Night
Posted on Jul 25, 2019
By St. Luke's, Duluth
The Duluth Huskies are hosting Colon Cancer Awareness Night at their game
against the Thunder Bay Border Cats. This night, organized in part by
local colon cancer survivor Anna Dahlgren, and presented by St. Luke’s
and the Colon Cancer Coalition, looks to raise awareness of colon cancer
and the importance of screening for this preventable cancer.
Before entering the stadium, fans will be invited to tour one of two giant
inflatable colons to understand what a doctor sees during a colonoscopy
– from a healthy colon wall, to how polyps progress from benign
into stage IV colorectal cancer. The Huskies will be donating custom jerseys
that will be auctioned off during the game. Money raised will support
the Minnesota-based Colon Cancer Coalition’s work to save lives
through screening and education about this disease.
In addition to Colon Cancer Awareness night, St. Luke’s will also
be celebrating employees by hosting an employee appreciation night. Games,
contests and other festivities will mark the occasion.
