PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and one nonprofit is working to make sure the screening process is accessible to as many people as possible in the Philadelphia region.

The Colorectal Cancer Alliance is hosting a Spirit Challenge as part of its 45+ Reasons campaign, which has the goal of getting 5,000 Black Philadelphians screened for colorectal cancer.

During the Spirit Challenge, the Alliance hopes to leverage the power of local churches to raise awareness for the potentially life-saving screenings.
