March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month and to raise awareness for the importance of screening, Quidel is participating at an event with Susie’s Cause at Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds 2 & The Brain - Our Three Pound Gem exhibit at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore, Maryland. This will be an event with Quidel showcasing the QuickVue® iFOB test and educating on the importance of screening for colorectal cancer along with Susie’s Cause.

Field trips with local schools are scheduled to educate children of the risks of colon cancer through the Susie’s Cause “Save Our Parents” program. This program promotes preventative screening through youth to provide students a thorough understanding of all aspects of colorectal cancer with the hopes of educating their parents on the benefits of colorectal cancer screening.
