September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

Did you know that:

- 1 in 6 Black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, compared to 1 in 9 white men

- Black men die at twice the rate of prostate cancer compared to white men.

- Black men are less likely to be covered by insurance, and

- Black men are less likely to be enrolled in clinical trials?

Therefore, we ask your audience to take the #BlackProstateCancerCheckChallenge and debunk some myths. This initiative aims to empower Black men to share their experience with prostate cancer using the hashtag. During an interview with anyone on our expert panel, your audience can learn more about the challenge and how they can participate and support it.

Spreading this message can make a real difference in fighting this disease and the health disparities.

For media inquiries or to schedule an interview, please contact NíCole Gipson, NGPR, at 314-824-8311.

Together, we can continue to raise awareness, foster dialogue, and drive positive change in the realm of prostate cancer awareness and treatment for Black men.
