THE VIDEO OF THIS EVENT IS BEING POSTED TO THE CORI WEBSITE AS WELL AS YOUTUBE.IN ADDITION TO COMMUNITY EVENTS CORI IS CONDUCTING RESEARCH:At over 50,000 deaths per year, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the US and disproportionately impacts medically underserved racial/ethnic minority communities. Colorectal cancer incidence and deaths are highest in Black Americans, followed closely by American Indians/Alaska Natives and lowest in Asians/Pacific Islanders. Furthermore, people with the lowest socioeconomic status are 40% more likely to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer than those with the highest socioeconomic status. New colorectal cancer screening recommendations lower the age from 50 to 45 for individuals at average risk for colorectal cancer. Raising awareness for colorectal cancer and screening options in underserved communities remains critical. To do so will require sustained and innovative efforts from health care providers and researchers, creating networks of key opinion leaders in the local communities while making screening and prevention services affordable, easy to obtain, and widespread. Screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) reduces the chances of dying from CRC, reducing both incidence and mortality of the disease by detecting precancerous and cancerous lesions. In total, about 50% of the decline in CRC between 1975 and 2000 is attributed to screening. But low income and racial/ethnic minority individuals have not been offered screening in effective numbers, resulting in higher death rates in these groups. Mysteriously, in the last 5 years there has been a 4-5 fold increase in the number of early-onset CRC cases in young people (under 50 years of age) and the reason for this is still unknown. This is a serious health crisis as the younger generation is being affected with no known cause. All these national patterns hold true in California, and more specifically, the Los Angeles area. Only 61.5% of Californians have received a colonoscopy in the past 10 years, and only 22% have received a blood or stool test in the last year. In Los Angeles, 64.1% of community members had a CRC screening.Access to effective screening and early treatment programs are the best hope to serve all patients with CRC. Compounding existing inequities, patients at risk for the worst CRC outcomes are less likely to participate in research focused on improving early detection methods and precision prevention (i.e., development of new biological and genetic markers for CRC and its precursors in blood and stool samples). CRC screening rates are the worst in populations of people with lower levels of higher education and income. These individuals also do not have health insurance and lack access to adequate healthcare facilities and are typically from racial/ethnicity minority backgrounds. In addition to increasing screening rates among younger people of color, it is also important to conduct research to understand the cause of the disproportionate increase in CRC, especially among younger Black Americans. The study of tissue using a multi-omics platform can help us better understand the causes of the increase in CRC in this community and potentially identify targets for treatment.Accordingly, California Oncology Research Institute (CORI) in collaboration with Providence Saint Johns Cancer Institute, and Providence Health Research Accelerator (HRA) are conducting research to pinpoint and address unique local needs of minority and medically underserved communities and turn participating at-risk communities into "zones" with high rates of colorectal cancer screening. The research provides colorectal cancer testing and study samples collected via approved tests for colorectal cancer, including colonoscopy, CT colonography, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and at-home stool tests that analyze fecal DNA and/or blood. In doing so the research will provide significantly enhanced opportunities for residents to participate in CRC screenings, while research will develop better approaches to colorectal cancer interception for racial and ethnic minority patients generally. 319174 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 4 true false false false false false false true false false false true true false false true true false false false CA X ANTON BILCHIK MD 3108830096 2632 Wilshire Blvd Box 383 SANTA MONICA CA 90403 X ANTON BILCHIK MD Secretary 7.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jonathan Jacobs President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nicholas Thacker Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joyce Eisenberg-Keefer Vice President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 1595683 1595683 0 50995 50995 0 0 0 1909351 1813919 95432 95432 95432 0 0 0 0 1742110 146427 100000 100000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13840 13840 0 0 11696 11696 0 1359 1359 10183 10183 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 RESEARCH ALLOWANCE 156000 156000 website/internet hosting 31027 31027 COMMUNITY outreach programs 16416 16416 RESEARCH CONFERENCES 4509 4509 10085 9863 222 355115 319174 35941 0 98298 272980 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26528 26528 0 1580255 2934797 0 0 0 0 1678553 3207777 0 0 X 1162039 2691263 516514 516514 1678553 3207777 1678553 3207777 1386995 142229 X false false false X 251395 340693 1112760 335117 1595683 3635648 0 0 251395 340693 1112760 335117 1595683 3635648 3093087 542561 17878 5390 12265 42699 50995 129227 0 0 3764875 0.14410 0.19740 X Prior Year Facts and Circumstances: This organization has a history of public support both financial and non-financial since its inception in 2008. As recently as 2020, the public support percentage was 43.49%. In recent years, the support from people who are able to be included in the public support test has dropped. This is mainly due to a few large contributions to the foundation, including a $1 million dollar gift in 2021 wich was included in a total of $1.6 million over recent years. Due to this large gift, the amount of gifts disallowed from the public support percentage computation is very high and, therefore, the public support percentage is lower than it has historically been. The entity is very grateful for these large gifts which have allowed them to continue the entities work in research and education of the community during the challenging fundraising period post COVID and during a trying economy.The California Oncology Research Institute exceeds the 10% public support test required by IRC Regulation 1.170A-9(3)(i) as its public support percentage for the 2023 year is 14.41% (19.74% FOR THE 2022 YEAR AND 21.62% for the 2021 year). The entity has added several strategic alliances and is in collaboration with St. Johns Cancer Institute (formerly John Wayne Cancer Institute) a nationally recognized organization and the Providence Health System (one of the largest non-profit health care systems in the US) Research Team working on health care diversity and population health.Both branding and the website were updated in 2022 in order to gain an increase in social media presence. Followers increased by 217%, and an on-line donation platform was introduced. All events are open to the public and are held several times each year. They are well attended by the community. These events are educational in nature as community outreach is one of the missions of the organization. ATTENDANCE HAS INCREASED AT COMMUNITY EVENTS DURING THE 2023 YEAR AND CORI HOPES IT WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE.
