On Saturday, March 29, 2025, San Diegans will participate in the Screen Your Gut - Save Your Butt 5K Challenge at De Anza Cove, 3000 North Mission Bay Drive, Mission Bay Park, San Diego, CA. The event is to raise awareness about colorectal cancer, the 2nd deadliest form of cancer, and to promote its prevention and early detection through screening. Screen Your Gut - Save Your Butt is sponsored by the California Colorectal Cancer Coalition (C4), a statewide non-profit organization whose mission is to save lives and reduce suffering from colorectal cancer in all Californians. Funds raised from the event will be used to support C4's grants program. This program is designed to increase screening to prevent the development of colorectal cancer and to detect existing cancers early, for better patient outcomes. In 2022, more than 23,000 Californians were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and more than 8,000 Californians died of the disease, according to California Cancer Registry data. What makes this disturbing is that through timely screening, colorectal cancer is mostly preventable or detectable at an early stage, when treatment is most effective. It is recommended that persons of average risk get screened starting at age 45. Regular screening is the key to preventing colorectal cancer. If you are younger than 45 and have a family history of colorectal cancer, or you think you may be at high risk, or if you're older than 75, talk to your doctor about screening options. From Dr. Stony Anderson, past-president of C4: "Colorectal cancer kills more Californians than any cancer other than lung cancer. With screening, most of these deaths can be prevented. For every 50 people screened for colorectal cancer, we will prevent one person from dying from colorectal cancer, but only if people get tested. There are multiple available effective tests. The best test is the one that gets done. Ask your doctor when you should get tested." Date and Time: On Sat, 29 Mar 2025 8 a.m. - Sat, 29 Mar 2025 12 p.m. Venue Details: De Anza Cove Park, 3000 North Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, California, 92109, United States Visit: https://charity.pledgeit.org/C4SanDiego

Champions have argued the law will protect Jewish students from rising bullying and discrimination, sometimes from teachers. While the state does not collect data on antisemitism in schools, reports of anti-Jewish bias statewide have doubled between 2021 and 2024, according to the California Department of Justice. Last year, more than 15% of all hate crime events in California were anti-Jewish, even though Jewish people make up about 3% of the state population.
