Design for a Cure:™ was founded in July of 2009
by interior designer and colon cancer survivor,
Lauren Schreyer. Diagnosed with colon cancer in June
2006, Lauren Schreyer became aware of the importance
of early detection and quality treatment as it
relates to the success of patient care. Lauren
Schreyer became compelled to use her experience with
art and design to advance cutting-edge research of
this deadly disease that affects over 106,000 new
patients in the U.S. every year. Through her efforts
and community support, Design for a Cure:™ is now a
non-profit organization using art and design to
inspire a cure for colon cancer.

Through
events and fundraisers inspired by art and design,
the Design for a Cure:™ foundation aims to:
o Fund
cutting-edge scientific and medical colon cancer
research
o Promote awareness of colon cancer prevention
o Educate our communities about early colon cancer
detection
o Improve colon cancer patient care and treatment
o Provide support for individuals fighting colon
cancer
o Increase the colon cancer cure rate to an eventual
100%
 Proceeds
from Design for a Cure:™ will proudly support
the
Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of
Northwestern University. Design for a Cure:™
is awaiting 501(c)(3) status. Together we can help
save lives of countless individuals – both in
Chicago and worldwide.
