The 100 Black Men of Madison, Inc. is raising the awareness for early detection and treatment of Prostate Cancer, particularly in the African American community. Our Forum will combine our collective voices and leverage our individual organizational influence to increase awareness of this disease that threatens and drastically impacts males and their families. To eliminate the African American Prostate Cancer Disparity, the 100 Black Men of Madison, Inc. acknowledge and agree that knowledge is the best defense against prostate cancer as we endeavor to help reduce confusion about how to detect, treat, and cope with Prostate Cancer among men at highest risk.
