Men's Health- Prostrate Cancer Coalition Mobile Unit

Alpharetta Rotary Supports the Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition at their Clark Atlanta University Screening Event. Frank Catroneo joined ARC for breakfast and received a $1500 grant toward upcoming screening events.

The Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition is the largest prostate cancer organization in the State of Georgia. GPCC is a non-profit organization and was founded in 2000. We give 100% of monies raised and donated back to the community to support awareness, education and free screenings for the men of Georgia. In 2014, GPCC will have screened over 1,300 men.

Clark Atlanta University has a prostate cancer research department that is studying why the African/American community is more susceptible to prostate cancer. They presently have 12 researchers on staff and will be hiring 2 more researchers within the next 2 years. When they bring on the 2 additional researchers, Clark Atlanta will be the largest prostate cancer research organization in the country. The Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition is a close partner with Clark Atlanta and is helping in many ways to support their research projects.
