He went through surgery, 6 months of chemotherapy, and was NED (no evidence of disease) for almost a full year before his cancer returned in February 2019. He started the Brews & Blue Bar Crawl as a way for others to join him in the fight against colorectal cancer. Since then, we have raised over $50,000 for colorectal cancer research. We've seen wins in new legislation related to colorectal cancer, such as lowering the recommended screening age to 45 and the passing of the Medicare Loophole Bill. But we are not stopping there, and we strive to continue to make an impact. That is why this cause is so near and dear to our hearts. Evan passed away on October 18, 2021, after a four-year-long battle with stage IV colon cancer. He was at peace knowing he would be returning home to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He spent his final days surrounded by his family and friends. He will forever be remembered for lighting up every room he entered, his joyful spirit, rocking dad shoes, writing songs about his dog, quoting movies, his impersonations, and being the ultimate goofball. Evan beat cancer by not letting his diagnosis prevent him from living his life. While going through treatment, he visited 5 countries in Europe, 11 states, and attended countless music festivals. He never let his own battle prevent him from being an amazing friend, fiancé, son and brother. The way he fought with a smile on his face inspired many. He was the true definition of a warrior. At his request, we have carried on the Brews & Blue Bar Crawl - and now added the Golf Tournament - to continue the fight against Colorectal Cancer. "Being a relentless champion of hope is all about being a beacon of light for others. No matter how deep the valleys or how dark the struggles, we will continue to inspire others, stay positive, and live our lives to the fullest. I'm involved with Fight CRC because colorectal cancer isn't just my fight and I hope my story and my experiences will give others hope." - Evan White 💙 Evan was featured in a few local and national news stories during his battle with colorectal cancer. He was even featured on a billboard in Times Square.
