The chapter program was formed in 2015 with a vision to connect with patients, families, and the medical community on the local level to help fuel ZERO’s economic engine while amplifying the patient’s voice and executing ZERO’s programs and initiatives toward reducing the pain and suffering and ultimately end prostate cancer.
ZERO’s chapter program is growing each year and we’re proud of our regional chapter directors who have their finger on the pulse of all things in their territory while working tirelessly to make meaningful connections to move the ZERO mission forward.
The ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk is the largest men’s health event series in the U.S. and each chapter director oversees several in their area. To find the one in your local community, go to www.zerocancer.run
