Join Integrated Medical Foundation in celebrating “Wear Blue for the Men You Love” Day on September 28 to help raise awareness of prostate cancer. Whether it’s a blue t-shirt, blue striped tie or blue suede shoes, you can put the focus on men’s health and early detection during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
Prostate Cancer remains the second deadliest cancer for men, causing approximately 30,000 deaths each year. Yet if detected early, this disease is almost always curable.
The Wear Blue for the Men You Love campaign, in its fourth year, is a call to action for all the important men in our lives: fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, and friends. Education and early detection are critical to winning the fight against prostate cancer.
Rhonda Samuel, Executive Director of Integrated Medical Foundation, urges everyone to wear blue on September 28th in honor or in memory of the men they love.
“In encouraging our friends, family and community to wear blue, we are building momentum for prostate cancer awareness,” said Samuel.
Join us for additional awareness building initiatives including the 4th annual Blue Ribbon 5K Run for prostate cancer at the Town of Oyster Bay Golf Course in Woodbury, NY, on November 18, 2012, and the Belmont Stakes Blue Ribbon 5K Run for prostate cancer at the Belmont Park Racetrack on June 2, 2013.
