Program areas at ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer
Education & Awareness - The ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk Series is the largest event series dedicated to men's health in the U.S. For more than a decade, the series has helped raise awareness and unite men and their families across the country as a powerful force in the fight against prostate cancer. ZERO helps lead the national dialogue on prostate cancer through our awareness campaigns, social media, website, blog, and podcast. Our regional chapters are the boots on the ground to engage local communities, facilitate grassroots action, and provide support and education.
Advocacy - As the national leader in prostate cancer advocacy, we protect and grow federal research funding, currently at $110M, that has led to several key prostate cancer treatments for extending and improving the lives of patients. For more than twenty years, our annual Summit has brought together hundreds of advocates from around the country to make prostate cancer a priority within our federal government, our state legislatures, and our communities.
Research - By creating our own research fund, ZERO directly supports cutting-edge research that offers the best return on investment, with a track record of expediting life-saving treatments from the laboratory to patients.
Patient Support - ZERO offers direct support for prostate cancer patients including free customized case management (ZERO360), peer-to-peer mentorship, transportation, and online support. Our ZERO360 team of experienced case managers help patients access financial resources, cut through insurance and Medicare red tape, and find emotional support. In addition to providing critical patient support, ZERO educates millions of men and their families with disease information through our events, website, social media, printed materials, videos, webinars, blogs, and podcasts.
