Philanthropy and Sponsorship
Started in 2005, the Susan Cohan Colon Cancer Foundation is also known as Susie’s Cause. After receiving a devastating diagnosis of advanced stage colon cancer, Susan Cohan learned that although it may be too late for her to beat the cancer, it is possible to effectively treat colon cancer if it is detected at an early stage. She became determined to help reduce the death rate of this kind of cancer through education and early detection. Susan started the Foundation with her father David Rodman Cohan who continued to work as director of the Foundation after Susan tragically succumbed to the cancer.
