Proudly presented by the Borland Groover Foundation, the March To Get Screened (MTGS) mission is to raise awareness to colon cancer. All proceeds from MTGS benefit the Borland Groover Foundation.
Through the Borland Groover Foundation, we are able to raise awareness about the importance of screening for colon cancer, provide free colon screenings to patients who may not have the financial means to have one and provide financial assistance to patients newly diagnosed with colon cancer.
How does the March to Get Screened 5k event through the Borland Groover Foundation help our community? The Foundation helps the community by:
- providing education and awareness on the importance of screening for colon cancer to prevent colon cancer
- raising awareness of the ability of Borland Groover to provide free colonoscopy procedures to patients who qualify through our BG Cares Charity Program
- giving financial assistance to patients newly diagnosed with colon cancer with financial need
- educating our community on digestive health

- Everybody 45 + should get screened for colon cancer
- A colonoscopy is the only test that can detect AND prevent colon cancer
- If you have a change in bowel habits, have a history of polyps or colorectal cancer , or have a first-degree relative with polyps or colorectal cancer – talk to your physician. Find out if you should be screened for colon cancer before the age of 45
