POSITION TITLE: Director of Partnerships
ORGANIZATION: Colorectal Cancer Alliance
LOCATION/JOB-TYPE: Washington D.C. or Remote/Full-time

Organization Description

The Colorectal Cancer Alliance (“the Alliance”) was founded in 1999 as the Colon Cancer Alliance, by a group of 40+ survivors, caregivers, and friends who saw the need to educate the public about colorectal cancer and provide support to those affected by the disease.

Though it began as a simple online support group, the passion and vision of those involved began a nationwide movement. In 1999, the first annual meeting of the Colon Cancer Alliance was held in our nation’s capital, Washington, DC. Shortly after, a Board of Directors was appointed and a committee structure put in place for the workgroup. After 20+ years, the Alliance still honors and remembers those who shaped the organization into what it is today.

In January 2016, the Colon Cancer Alliance merged with The Chris4Life Colon Cancer Foundation. Founded in 2010, Chris4Life had been known for its successful campaigns and personal mission. After the merger, the organization became the largest colorectal cancer-specific non-profit in the United States, standing to accelerate a joint mission where more people will be screened for this unique cancer and where more patients and survivors are supported so they can live longer, better lives.

In November 2017, the Colon Cancer Alliance became the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, focused on empowering a nation of allies who work with us to provide support for patients and families, caregivers, and survivors; to raise awareness of preventive measures; and inspire efforts to fund critical research. United in a fierce determination to dramatically impact the way society sees this devastating disease, the Alliance exists to end colorectal cancer in our lifetime.

Today, the Alliance is the largest colorectal cancer screening organization in the U.S., making an impact through its focus on three overarching programmatic pillars of Screen, Care, and Cure. Each of these pillars has a specific outcome it is trying to achieve to help accomplish the Alliance’s vital mission. Those goals are as follows:

• Screen: To save 100,000 lives through awareness and prevention by 2029.
• Care: To increase the number of patients and families served to 750,000 annually by 2024.
• Cure: To commit $30 million to innovative and life-saving research by 2024.
