Generation ZERO
You can invest in a future without prostate cancer.
ZERO leads the fight to end prostate cancer, the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men. By promoting greater awareness of the need for early detection and leveraging public resources for life-saving research and new treatments for those with advanced disease, we will win this fight.
We now look to the future to achieve our ultimate goal of creating a life-giving legacy for our sons and grandsons: the first generation of men who are free from prostate cancer—"Generation ZERO."
Join us in creating this new generation, where prostate cancer becomes an obsolete health condition, much like polio. This new day is coming sooner than you may think.
Help Us Make It Happen!
We seek your commitment to end prostate cancer by investing in Generation ZERO, a campaign to raise $2.5 million for free testing, research and community grants, and advocacy measures for increased federal funding to find a cure.
ZERO is launching a unique non-profit "IPO" – an "Immediate Public Opportunity" – so you and other supporters can show your commitment by purchasing shares of stock in Generation ZERO. This is your ground-floor opportunity to get more involved and make a profound difference.

The price of each share is $18.52, and 135,000 shares will be issued. The issuance amount represents the number of men who are expected to die of prostate cancer (27,000) during each of the next five years.

Purchase Shares of Generation ZERO
You'll be joining two well-known television personalities who are making the first purchases of Generation ZERO stock:
- Craig T. Nelson, an actor best known for his starring role in the TV series "Coach," and the new hit show, "Parenthood."
"Zero seems such an impossible mountain to climb, but if we don't fix our eyes on the peak, if we don't take these first steps, it will be just that—another hopeless mountain," said Huber about purchasing shares of Generation ZERO.
"Imagine the world without prostate cancer. And then imagine what the same world was saying 60 years ago... imagine the world without polio. It can come true."

Your investment in Generation ZERO is doubled through a charitable match.
The Schwartz Family: (L to R): The late William A. Schwartz; wife Marlene; children Michael, Cynthia and Jonathan.
An immediate return on your investment is a dollar-for-dollar charitable donation for the first $250,000 raised for Generation ZERO, thanks to the generosity of the Schwartz Family (of our late CEO William A. Schwartz). His son, Jonathan Schwartz, currently sits on ZERO's Board and serves as treasurer.
While the Schwartz Family match does not affect the number of Generation ZERO shares you own, it does provide the immediate advantage of additional capital to promote prostate cancer awareness – and the importance of getting more research dollars – for this leading men's health issue.
