About Get Your Rear in Gear Video


Start Your Own Event

Our goal is to have a Get Your Rear in Gear event in all 50 United States. While our first efforts have been focused on working with local organizers to develop runs, walks, and other sporting events, a Get Your Rear in Gear event can be many things! Organize a bake sale, have a garage sale, or sell a product and donate a percentage of the proceeds to the Colon Cancer Coalition.

Be creative. Then contact us about helping you.
