Some nights are fun. Some nights make a difference. This one does both. The DetecTogether Gala, Auction & Golf Tournament brings together laughter, community, and purpose — all to help ensure more families hear the words “we found it early,” and more lives are saved because of it.

This year’s Gala on Saturday, May 30th features Emmy-nominated comedian Mike Birbiglia, incredible food and drinks, exclusive auction packages, and dancing with South of Sunrise Band — all supporting our 3 Steps Detect® programs, which teach people how to recognize early warning signs of cancer and take timely, effective action.

The impact continues at our Golf Tournament on Monday, June 1st, where players, sponsors, and supporters come together not just for a great day on the course, but to help more cancers be detected earlier, when treatment is more effective and futures can change for the better. 

Every registration, bid, and swing helps more families hear” we found it early”— changing futures today, together.

A new analysis from the Health Action Alliance (HAA), a U.S.-based public health and business coalition, highlights how investing in early cancer detection now can prevent dramatically higher treatment costs later. (HAA, 2025).  

What if the moment that affects cancer outcomes happens before anyone is diagnosed with cancer?

In our latest blog, “The Moment That Changes the Odds,” we look at the critical window between noticing something isn’t right and deciding to act. Backed by National Cancer Institute data (2025) and grounded in DetecTogether’s 3 Steps Detect®, this piece explains why this moment matters more than most people realize.

It’s not about panic. It’s about preparation—and the practical steps that can change everything. Because when action happens sooner, everything that follows can look very different.

This World Cancer Day, awareness matters, but action is what saves lives.

DetecTogether equips people with simple, practical early cancer detection skills, empowering them to recognize changes, seek care sooner and help save their own lives.

Empower yourself with 3 Steps Detect so you’ll know what to look for and what to do next. If cancer ever affects you or someone you love, you’ll be prepared to act with confidence. 

Join us for a 30-minute information session designed for HR leaders and benefits brokers to learn how DetecTogether’s 3 Steps Detect® early cancer detection education is being implemented in workplace settings – helping employees detect cancer earlier while reducing long-term healthcare costs.

We’ll review program options, pricing, and implementation details and explore how this proactive approach supports better health outcomes, helps employers manage rising cancer related costs.

Employees have questions about colorectal cancer screening and rising early-onset trends. Employers want clear, credible answers that support both health outcomes and cost management.

Justin Maykel, MD of UMass Memorial Medical Center joins us for “Flushing Out Symptoms,” a live webinar focused on colorectal cancer screening, rising early-onset trends, and the practical steps employees can take to recognize symptoms and act early. 

Designed exclusively for our Workplace Wellbeing partners, this session offers expert clinical insights, screening guidance (including at-home options), and live Q&A. Registration details will be shared directly with participating organizations.

Early-onset cancers are on the rise among young adults. By teaching students how to recognize and act upon the early signs of cancer, educators can equip them with skills that can one day save their lives.

26.2 miles is tough. Facing a late cancer diagnosis is tougher.

Our runners are choosing to do something hard, so fewer families have to face something harder. Every mile they run fuels early detection education that empowers people to recognize symptoms and seek care sooner.

Lizzy wishes she had followed 3 Steps Detect and listened to her body sooner. She delayed because she didn’t understand what her body was trying to tell her. 

"It felt easy to explain away. A seasonal change. A lingering cold. Something minor. It wasn’t painful or dramatic — just… there. And because it didn’t stop me from living my life, I didn’t stop to question it."

Our donors' generosity makes our nonprofit education programs possible.

Please consider making a gift today.
