Esophageal Cancer Awareness Association

The Esophageal Cancer Awareness Association (EC Aware) is a United States-based nonprofit organization focused on esophageal cancer. Its mission is to support individuals and families affected by esophageal cancer and to promote awareness of esophageal health. The organization operates as a volunteer-driven entity with no offices and no paid staff, emphasizing minimal overhead so that resources go directly to its programs. EC Aware serves as a first point of contact for those newly diagnosed with esophageal cancer, offering guidance and information. It highlights key statistics to raise awareness, such as the fact that 1 in 5 Americans have at least one leading risk factor for the disease, that esophageal cancer is the 7th most common cause of cancer death among U.S. men, and that every 40 minutes someone in the United States is diagnosed. The organization provides educational resources, a FAQ section, and opportunities for volunteers to get involved. Governed by a Board of Directors, each of whom has a personal connection to esophageal cancer, EC Aware relies on the tireless efforts of its volunteers. It does not maintain physical offices or employ paid staff, keeping overhead minimal. The organization's website, ecaware.org, serves as its primary platform for outreach, information dissemination, and community engagement.
