Why Join?

Not only is this a chance to showcase your artistic talent, but it’s also a meaningful opportunity to support the fight against appendix cancer—a rare and poorly understood disease that is often challenging to treat. Many cases are not diagnosed until the cancer is already advanced, making early awareness and research critical. With diagnoses on the rise, especially among those under 50, your participation will help fund vital research and raise awareness to make a real impact.
