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 both awareness and 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.
