National Prostate Awareness Month

September is national Prostate Awareness Month. There are Awareness Drives, Auctions, and all kinds of stuff to help wipe out prostate cancer.


Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer among men in the United States. This year alone, it is estimated that more than 220,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed and that nearly 29,000 men will die from this disease.



To find out what's going on to raise awareness, check out   The National Prostate Cancer Coalition's website. The NPCC, founded in 1996, is the largest advocacy organization dedicated to ending the devastating impact of prostate cancer on men, families and society.
