The 7th Annual Rumpshaker 5K will be held on Saturday March 14, 2015 at Sloss Furnaces.  Since 2009, the Rumpshaker 5K has raised well over half a million dollars to fight colorectal cancer.  As always, this event is a fun, family friendly experience for all ages.  Registration is now open for both the Rumpshaker 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk, so sign up today!  

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY BRINGING ATTENTION TO COLORECTAL CANCER, A PREVENTABLE, TREATABLE, AND BEATABLE DISEASE.

RUMPSHAKER, INC. DONATES 2014 RACE PROCEEDS TO DETECT AND TREAT COLORECTAL CANCER
A total of  $50,000 was donated to Birmingham, AL area hospitals (Princeton Baptist Health System, St. Vincent's Health System, and Medical West Hospital) to assist in the purchase of state of the art medical equipment used to detect and treat colorectal cancer.

A total of $3,000 was donated to Birmingham, AL area hospital patient navigation programs (Princeton Patient Navigators and UAB Patient Navigators).  Navigators assist patients in their fight with cancer by providing avenues of short term financial assistance such as gas, food and lodging.  The funds donated by Rumpshaker will be used to provide colorectal cancer patients with this type of assistance.

A total of $2,850 was donated to the Blue Hope Prevention Award. The Colon Cancer Alliance and Colonoscopy Assist offer the Blue Hope Prevention Award, a program providing qualifying individuals with financial support for the cost of screening or other screening-related expenses.  The funds donated by Rumpshaker will specifically be used to assist patients in Alabama.
