The Boston Prostate Cancer Walk has been successful in raising $3,220,000 for prostate cancer research, which includes recognition and funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
By the end of this ninth year the Boston Prostate Cancer Walk will have awarded $3,000,000, and was the largest donor of new prostate cancer research in Massachusetts, excluding any possible contributions made by the federal government.
Please join us in our efforts to raise money for prostate cancer research by becoming a sponsor of the tenth annual Boston Prostate Cancer Walk on Sunday, May 16, 2010. As a sponsor, you will be part of what is quickly becoming a very visible annual event for Boston. We welcome individual, organizational, and corporate sponsorships.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the United States. It accounts for almost 1/3 of all new cases of cancer in men. Today, there are about 30,000 men living in Massachusetts, and about 2,000,000 men in the United States, with prostate cancer. Early diagnosis, education, and treatment may make the difference between life and death.
We are also the largest source of education and awareness in Massachusetts and perhaps in New England. Our half hour video tape was shown in 500 cities and towns in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, most of Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Our major sponsors are recognized on these tapes.
