For Immediate Release, April 15, 2004:
On Saturday May 8th the Jr. Choir, of The First United Methodist Church of Voorheesville will be hosting The First Annual Colon Club Concert, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. The Jr. Choir and Sr. Choir will be performing along with “The Mike Thomas Experiment,” featured performers from “The Binghamton Rhythm Method,” The FUMCV’s own Kyle Schlappi (brother of singer/songwriter Billy Montana), and more. It will be a casual evening of musical entertainment for the whole family in the Social Hall of the church, on Maple Avenue (Rt. 85A) in Voorheesville, including Starbuck’s coffee, and refreshments made by the Jr. Choir.
Admission will be a minimum $5 donation per person to the Colon Club, started by Molly McMaster, a Saratoga Springs resident, who was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 23, and Hannah Vogler, whose cousin Amanda died of the disease at age 27. Their goal is to educate people - especially young people - about colorectal cancer in interesting and humorous ways. All money raised is spent in pursuit of this goal and your donation will help them reach that. Literally millions of people have already been educated by the Colon Club’s latest project, the Colossal Colon, which was on a twenty-city national tour throughout 2003.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, but it’s also one of the only forms of cancer that can be prevented just by testing for and removing polyps. People should know the symptoms and risk factors of colorectal cancer and they should know their own family history of cancer and colon polyps.
