Night with the Department of Homeland Security

20% of all net proceeds for the event are going to the 501c3 Hitting Cancer Below the Belt (HCB2), which is dedicated to colorectal (colon and rectal) cancer prevention across the Commonwealth of Virginia. They are focused on the importance of colon health and providing screening programs for cancer prevention. HCB2 provides community education, early detection services for the uninsured, and direct support services for patients and survivors. By offering services and hosting events, they can raise the level of education and break through some barriers to screening. HCB2’s vision is to build and bridge resources in order to create a community where cancer is challenged to survive. We were inspired to support this cause by one of our close partners, Erin Burns of InsureTRUST, this is her story: My brother Erik was in the prime of his life when he was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in November of 2020 while only having symptoms for the previous few weeks. Otherwise looking at him, you would have thought he was impeccable help and for all intents and purposes he was. Between that and zero family history, we were all dumbfounded by the diagnosis. The cancer had already spread to his liver and lungs by the time of his diagnosis. Over the next 13 months, despite aggressive treatments, it would continue to spread to his bones, spine and brain before takingHCB2 IRS Letter his life December 10, 2021. During his entire fight he stayed positive that a solution would be found up until the very end. He also became an advocate for prevention and early detection. If he had known he may be at risk, he may still be alive today. Prevention and early detection are key. After his passing, searching for some answers, a purpose and keeping his memory and spirit alive, I was introduced to HCB2. Unlike many cancer charities who focus on raising funds to find a cure, HCB2 focuses on education, prevention and early detection. I knew if Erik had been able to beat his cancer, he would of been HCB2’s number one supporter. So we dove in. My daughter joined the junior board and I became a very loud voice for the organization. HCB2 was so grateful for our efforts they created the #4Erik4Ever grant which makes all funds raised in his honor and memory able to be directed by his love ones as to where they are spent. I plan on using this vehicle to not only honor his memory but to be his voice on the importance of prevention and early detection. He already has and will continue to save lives with this message.
