Fit2Be Cancer Free Challenge
"Fit2Be came at a time this year that reminded us all how important it is to do our screenings in a timely manner. After going on this journey with my incredible Airswift team, I feel the power of our company and the type of support we always extend to each other.”

Help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone. By joining fellow CEOs and others in our Fit2Be Cancer Free Challenge you’re promoting cancer prevention through health activity in the workplace.
Research shows that poor diet and physical inactivity are two factors that can increase your cancer risk.
This simple, virtual challenge promotes cancer prevention, empowers employees through healthy activity in the workplace, and raises money to help end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Our Fit2be Cancer Free Challenge will kickoff on April 10, 2025 with a CEO challenge and 2-week Employee Challenge.
The CEO Challenge is a motivational one-day challenge where CEOs across the country compete to go the furthest distance from midnight that day until 11:59pm that evening.
The 2-week Employee Challenge runs from April 10 -April 24, 2025 and takes participants through a virtual journey, encouraging steps each day and engaging employees through our motivational milestones. Employees compete within their company but can also see how their company is stacking up against others on our challenge leaderboard.
Our Fit2Be Challenge is powered by MoveSpring for simplicity and ease. To speak with your American Cancer Society partner in Houston, please email Alissa Ruiz, Senior Corporate Relations Manager, at alissa.ruiz@cancer.org.
Colorectal Cancer Screening Awareness
Colorectal cancer is a major public health problem. It is the second leading cause of cancer death, and a cause of considerable suffering among more than 135,000 adults diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year. However, colorectal cancer can be detected early at a curable stage, and it can be prevented through the detection and removal of precancerous polyps.
The CEOs Against Cancer Greater Houston Chapter stand united in the belief that they can eliminate colorectal cancer as a major public health problem. We have screening technologies that work, the national capacity to apply these technologies, and effective local models for delivering the continuum of care in a more organized fashion. As such, our CEO companies will work to empower communities, patients, providers, community health centers, health systems, employers and others to embrace these models and develop the partnerships needed to deliver coordinated, quality colorectal cancer screening and follow up care that engages the patient and empowers them to complete needed care from screening through treatment and long-term follow-up.
