As a charity, Fans for the Cure works to support the prostate cancer community by educating men and their families about the importance of PSA screenings as part of a responsible approach to overall men’s health. We provide a comprehensive program of educational events, support groups, physician referrals, and awareness campaigns.
We currently offer a mix of online and in-person events. To be clear, we follow the health recommendations and guidelines provided by the CDC and local government and health regulatory authorities. As such, plans to hold in-person events can change as the best way to keep our community safe evolves.
