Welcome

The NC Minority Prostate Cancer Awareness Action Team, the "Action Team," provides targeted outreach for minority men who are at the greatest risk of developing prostate cancer. The Action Team is comprised of volunteer professionals and community leaders with a deep commitment to service. These individuals work in partnership with churches, Greek-letter organizations and others to disseminate information about prostate cancer, in an effort to increase the number of Black men screened annually and receiving treatment for prostate cancer during its early and potentially curable stages.
