Celebrating 30 Years of Impact This Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

PCAM Hero

Navigating a prostate cancer diagnosis—whether for yourself or a loved one—can be incredibly overwhelming. As we observe Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, we want to remind our community that you do not have to walk this path alone.

This year marks ZERO Prostate Cancer’s 30th anniversary. For three decades, we have remained fiercely committed to a future defined by early detection, accessible care, and steadfast support. We put this mission into action every day by focusing on four core areas:

Advocacy: We fight for patient-friendly policies at both the grassroots level and in Washington, D.C. Our goal is to secure increased federal research funding and eliminate out-of-pocket expenses for early screenings.

Awareness: Through our nationwide Run/Walk series and local community gatherings, we aim to dismantle stigmas, spark vital health conversations, and celebrate the resilience of patients and survivors.

Education: Knowledge equips you to make informed medical choices. We provide comprehensive, expert-backed resources—ranging from digital hubs to live webinars—covering risk factors, screening, and treatment pathways.

Support: Programs like ZERO360 offer direct, personalized case management. We help patients overcome insurance obstacles, secure financial aid, and access the care they need without the added stress.

Ultimately, our focus is on breaking down barriers and eliminating gaps in diagnosis and treatment. We are here to be a dependable ally for you and your family through every step of this journey.

This anniversary is also a moment to honor where we began. ZERO founder William A. Schwartz started this organization 30 years ago with one simple belief: no one should face prostate cancer alone. In his memory, Marlene J. Schwartz has generously pledged to match every gift up to $50,000. Your donation today is doubled dollar-for-dollar and carries that founding mission forward.

To discover educational tools, learn more about our support networks, or simply find answers — and to make your gift go twice as far this September — explore our website at ZEROcancer.org.
