  The NCCRA is dedicated to the eradication of colon cancer by harnessing celebrity power to promote education, fundraising, research and early medical screening. The NCCRA was co-founded by NBC TODAY show co-anchor Katie Couric, nationally-known cancer fund raiser Lilly Tartikoff, and the Entertainment Industry Foundation, a California-based non-profit organization. The NCCRA proposes to combine basic, clinical, and epidemiological research, conducted by the nation's leading scientists, to study the risk factors associated with colorectal cancer and identify potential preventive treatment therapies and ultimately a cure.
