Four Division 23 members — Collin Donaldson, Gavin Donaldson, Cory Kane, and Rooney McManus — along with future member Evan Donaldson, recently founded a non-profit called Cure Achalasia Now (C.A.N.), with a mission to fund “innovative medical research that delivers better treatments, a lifelong cure, and improved lives for everyone fighting achalasia,” a rare swallowing disorder.

C.A.N. will host its first fundraising event, the 2026 C.A.N. Crawl, on Saturday, October 10, 2026. For a $25 donation, participants will receive a C.A.N. T-shirt to wear during the 4K round-trip walk through Lawrenceville.

The event will begin at VFW Post 214. Along the walk, donors are encouraged to visit the neighborhood establishments that have signed on as co-sponsors before returning to A.O.H. Division 23, where the final donation amount will be tallied and raffles and other prizes will be awarded.

You & your group can sign-up on the C.A.N. Crawl ’26 page.

If you have any questions, please contact Collin Donaldson at collin.donaldson11@yahoo.com or by submitting them through the C.A.N. website. 

The C.A.N. team hopes to see you at this inaugural event that they plan to make an annual tradition, supporting both achalasia research and the Lawrenceville business community.
