Events that MAKE A DIFFERENCE

For more than ten years, ECAN has worked with supporters across the nation to raise awareness about Esophageal Cancer through entertaining and informative events.  From rappelling to dancing to famous comedians, ECAN has consistently brought fun events to our supporters—but always with an important, educational message: HEARTBURN CAN CAUSE CANCER!

DO-IT-YOURSELF

Today, we offer folks all the support they need to host their own events to raise awareness about Esophageal Cancer and/or raise funds to support the fight against this devastating disease.

ECAN makes it easy as can be with our special Event-in-a-Box that contains everything you need to get started on an awareness event in your own community!

No matter what your idea may be, we are here to help you turn it into reality.  Don’t have an idea?  We’ve got lots of suggestions to help you get going.  Your event can be as large or as small as you want to make it.  Every bit of awareness-raising matters because the best way we can defeat this cancer is by sharing a life-saving message!
