Collaborative Group of the Americas
Inherited Gastrointestinal Cancer
You Can Make a Difference!
The Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Gastrointestinal Cancers (CGA-IGC) is a premiere professional society dedicated to forwarding clinical care for individuals and their family members with hereditary, familial and early-age onset gastrointestinal cancers through research, education, and patient advocacy.
Patients and families benefit greatly from scientific advances in cancer prevention, early detection, and personalized treatment.
We’re raising money to provide travel grants for early-career genetic counselors or genetic counselor trainees to support in-person attendance at the CGA-IGC Annual Meetings.
The drawing for the U2 concert ticket has been finalized and Dr Randall Brandt was the lucky winner of the two U2 concert tickets.
No more concert tickets are able to be won but we would still appreciate any donations to this great cause.
We’re raising money to make a difference in support of our mission and vision. To meet new challenges, we’ve set up this campaign with a goal of $10,000.
With your help, the Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Gastrointestinal Cancers (CGA-IGC) can reach this goal and provide travel grants for early-career genetic counselors or genetic counselor trainees to support in-person attendance at the CGA-IGC Annual Meetings.
The aim of these travel grants is to promote the professional development of early-career genetic counselor investigators in the field of hereditary gastrointestinal cancers.
