Gi North Putts for Butts Charity Classic 10/8/2023 8:00 AM - 10/8/2023 5:00 PM

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 13:09:41 GMT

Have you secured your spot for our second annual Putts for Butts Tournament benefiting Colorectal Cancer Alliance? This event will be taking place at the wonderful Bear's Best Atlanta!

Join us on Sunday, October 8th, 2023, at the prestigious Bear's Best Atlanta for a day of golf, camaraderie, and making a difference in the fight against colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer remains the 2nd most prevalent cancer in the United States, with an estimated 153,020 new cases projected for 2023 and there were approximately 1,544,770 people living with colorectal cancer in the United States in 2019 alone. These statistics underline the urgent need for continued awareness and research in

this area.

At GI North, we are committed to supporting colorectal cancer awareness and research, and the Putts for Butts tournament is a testament to our dedication. By participating in this event, you become an integral part of our mission to reduce the impact of colorectal cancer on individuals and communities.

To learn more about the tournament, register as a participant, or explore sponsorship opportunities, head over to our website https://gi-north.com/events/putts-for-butts-charity-classic/ or contact Bethina Couttenye at bcouttenye@gi-north.com.

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 16:36:35 GMT

GI North is pleased to announce that we will be hosting our 2nd annual golf tournament to support colorectal cancer awareness and research. As you may be aware, colorectal cancer is the 2nd most prevalent cancer in the United States with an estimated 153,020 new cases in 2023. In 2019, there was an estimated 1,544,770 people living with colorectal cancer in the United States. Approximately 4.4 percent of men and 4.1 percent of women will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer at some point during their lifetime.

With increasing awareness and diagnostic tools available, we have seen that new colorectal cancer cases have been falling an average of 1.0% each year from 2011-2019. However, in 2019, studies have shown only 69.4% of eligible adults were up to date with their colorectal cancer screening. As a gastroenterology practice, we want to do our part by continuing supporting colorectal cancer awareness and research.

Our 2nd annual golf tournament information is as below:
