We are Bold for Blue! April 1, 2019 On Sunday, February 24, 2019 ZERO Prostate Cancer rolled out the “blue” carpet for the inaugural Bold for Blue Awards. The awards highlight outstanding champions who have made a bold impact in the fight against prostate cancer with their fundraising efforts. These fundraisers allow ZERO to reach more of the men that need help, and also further research to put an end to the disease.It was my great pleasure to emcee the awards program and recognize twenty of our most outstanding ZERO Champions! Teams from ZERO’s national Run/Walk series, do-it-yourself event organizers, and Team ZERO endurance athletes were honored. ZERO also paid special tribute to three men who are prostate cancer pioneers and have gone above and beyond for the cause. William A. Schwartz – ZERO founder and former CEO who spearheaded ZERO’s creation, Sanford J. Siegel, MD – founder of the ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk series and recognized leader in urology, and Dr. Rev. Wesley S. Williams, Jr. – the first African-American Chairman of ZERO’s Board of Directors, all received Legacy Awards for their passionate commitment and dedication over many decades.Here are a few of my favorite moments from the Bold for Blue Awards Celebration ...
