ZERO challenges the complacency of American men to change their attitudes about early detection as the solution for prostate cancer through awareness, outreach, advocacy and research. The Washington, DC metro area leads the country in prostate cancer death rates.

More About Prostate Cancer:
Nationwide, a man dies from the disease every 18 minutes. But there is hope—education about prostate cancer risk and access to screenings can save countless lives. All proceeds will go to prostate research and free screenings in the Washington, DC area to those at risk.
