A Diva State of Mind

This week marks Colon Cancer Awareness Week in DC. There are a number of events taking place throughout the city. Here’s one you should attend!

Debra Minor-Hairston, a colon cancer survivor and the Colon Cancer Alliance host DC Goes Blue For Colon Cancer Awareness Happy Hour. The event will celebrate survivors, while stressing the importance of getting screened for colon cancer, which is preventable when caught early through screening. The Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA) works as a voice of the survivors and being an advocate for colorectal cancer patients and their families. The CCA offers information and support from people whose lives have been touched by this disease. In addition, the CCA provides support, public education, supports research and conducts advocacy work across America.

Happy Hour will be Thursday, September 30 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Tabaq Bistro Lounge (1336 U Street NW, WDC). Happy Hour specials include $4 beers, $5 call drinks, and $6 wine/cosmo/tinis and reduced priced appetizers. Trumpet sounds will also be provided by Kieron. All who attend are asked to wear something blue. 10% of drink proceeds will be donated to the Colon Cancer Alliance.

We all enjoy attending happy hours, so why not attend an event that will benefit those in our community!
