The first 1000 men to be screened for prostate or colon cancer will receive a special invitation to an All Star event with NBA Legends and Celebrities
The Rev Al Sharpton has lent his voice to helping African American men understand the importance of being screened for prostate and colon cancer. “I have teamed up with my friends at the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention to launch the 2nd Annual Harlem’s Cancer Screening Campaign to encourage over 1000 men to be screened by the end of September.” stated Rev. Sharpton. The Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention is a state-of-the-art facility located at the corner of 124th Street and Madison Avenue in Harlem. It was established five years ago to serve the Harlem community, which has one of the highest cancer mortality rates in the nation. One of the most prevalent diseases in our community is cancer. African American men nationwide have the overall highest cancer death rate compared to other ethnic groups.
