Even though prostate cancer is as prevalent as breast cancer in the United States and worldwide, we need more attention and funding to better serve prostate cancer patients and their families. 

Also, many people are still unaware that such a wonderful resource like Us TOO exists.

Here are a just a few ways you can increase awareness for prostate cancer and Us TOO in your town.

• Hold a Pints for Prostates event at your local brewpub. NEW! Join the Pints for Prostates group on Facebook.
