Dear Friends,
As July comes to a close, we are grateful for a remarkable month and excited about the busy stretch ahead.
For four days at Major League Baseball's All-Star Village in Philadelphia, we met thousands of baseball fans and families at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Visitors ranging in age from six to eighty-six stopped by our table to learn about prostate cancer, ask questions, and take home educational materials. The Fans for the Cure bobblehead collection helped draw plenty of youngsters—and more than a few kids in their sixties.
Our sincere thanks to Major League Baseball and to April Brown, Amelia DeCeanne, and Dr. Larry Westreich, each of whom took time to visit our table and made us feel so welcome.
Now we look ahead to August and September, National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month—our busiest time of year. Our schedule includes the Staten Island FerryHawks on August 13, the Milwaukee Brewers on August 21, the Buffalo Bisons on September 6, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals two days later, and our annual prostate cancer screening with Montefiore Einstein and the New York Yankees on Wednesday, September 23. We will also be participating in community health events throughout New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area.
Please visit our website for the complete August and September calendar. If we are scheduled in your community, we hope you are able to stop by and say hello.
Thank you for supporting Fans for the Cure through your generosity, volunteerism, encouragement, and friendship. Your partnership allows us to bring prostate cancer education, early detection programs, and compassionate resources to more men and families every day.
One conversation. One simple blood test. Better outcomes. |

Ed Randall to Have (at least) 30 Catches in 30 Days Starting Sept. 1
|
| |
|
Throughout September—National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month—Fans for the Cure Founder + Chief Advocacy Officer Ed Randall will once again take to the road for his annual 30 Catches in 30 Days campaign.
The idea is simple: a game of catch can start a conversation about prostate cancer awareness, early detection, and the importance of a simple PSA blood test. Along the way, Ed will meet survivors, caregivers, community leaders, and baseball fans of every age.
Individuals, businesses, and organizations that raise or donate at least $500 to Fans for the Cure can invite Ed to travel to their community, workplace, or ballpark for a game of catch, a meaningful conversation, and financial support for a good cause.
To schedule a September catch with Ed, contact Fans for the Cure at [email protected] or (888) 301-4414. |
