How we help

We are a coalition of black professionals from various realms, such as health care, legal, entertainment, journalism, technology, business, and academia. The Black Prostate Cancer Alliance offers free membership to individuals and all appropriate organizations. All of our services are free to our membership and to our community.

Health Literacy

We produce and distribute educational and awareness materials that address the specific needs and concerns of Black men, their friends, family and caregivers.

Community Outreach

We build social and media activation to break the social determinants of health that are toxic to our community. Our professional organization leaders self-determine the content of their advocacy.

Peer Support

We faciliate one of the world's largest prostate cancer support networks. We welcome all members of our professional organization partners.
