About the Club

When it comes to prostate cancer, early detection saves lives. In fact, around 90% of prostate cancers found at an early stage are cured. Men – and the women who love them – need to be proactive in understanding the risk factors and how to ‘aim for a cure’ through early detection.

That’s what the Prostate Club was all about. From September 2009 until March 2010, more than 350 men from all around the country joined the club and made a commitment to talk to their doctors about prostate cancer. Although the Club is currently not taking new members, we hope that all men will continue to be their own health advocates and take proactive steps to learn about prostate cancer.

For information about prostate cancer, please visit www.RoswellPark.org and watch for another phase of the Prostate Club to roll out next September!

What's in it for me?

Prostate Club members were entered to win a variety of prizes. Check out the list of winners! from the first phase. They showed proof that they talked to their doctor about prostate cancer to collect a prize.

Check back in September, because you never know what prizes we'll announce during the next phase of the Prostate Club.
