The Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program at the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center works to improve the lives of patients and their loved ones by providing at-home help, childcare, transportation, access to support groups and patient care services offered within Cedars-Sinai Medical Center - the hospital where she was treated. Colon cancer affects both men and women and is the third most common form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the Western world. In addition, 50 cents from every concert ticket sold will go to the cause, which is very close to the Osbournes.
