Task Force Takes Positive Step with New Prostate Cancer Testing
Recommendation

Last week, the prostate cancer advocacy community took a big step
forward in saving lives.

The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) upgraded its
recommendation for the first time in ten years to a C rating, meaning
men should "C" their doctor and discuss prostate cancer screening. The
previous D rating discouraged men from requesting the PSA test.

It's a positive step in the right direction. However, this rating is
still insufficient and dangerous for high-risk men or men who without
testing will develop aggressive or advanced disease.

Read ZERO's full statement on the new
recommendation and check out our conversation with the
American Urological Association and Men's Health Network here:

ZERO Ranked One of the Best Nonprofit Organizations to Work For

http://support.zerocancer.org/site/R?i=XgQALkothjexn-uD5BSaxQ

Dogs underneath desks, jeans day every day of the week, and an
unrivaled passion for ending prostate cancer. What do these three
things have in common? You can find them all at ZERO.

As the highest-ranking cancer charity in The Nonprofit
Times' "Top 50 Best Nonprofits to Work For", ZERO
was ranked the number 10 overall organization on the list.
ZERO's position jumped 10 spots this year and is the number
three ranked among all small nonprofits. This is the fourth
consecutive year for ZERO to be recognized on the list!

ZERO team members work hard to put passion into action to help men and
families impacted by prostate cancer, and we couldn't do it without
each and every one. Learn more about this year's ranking.


You Did It: Record Support for Prostate Cancer Research

http://support.zerocancer.org/site/R?i=Dfw-T-L-SoGn6OTEpM16MQ

Thanks to your hard work on Capitol Hill and persistent calls and
emails, you secured 102 Congressional members to show strong support
for funding the Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) at $90M - this
is 30 more signatures than last year.

We'll share more info soon on how you can urge your Senators to keep
the momentum going.

Hear from Drew Saelens, ZERO's Government Relations VP, on the
progress being made to dedicate more dollars to saving lives.

April is National Minority Health Month


http://support.zerocancer.org/site/R?i=dtHaDbd1m6NzBtqcue1V-g

For reasons that remain unclear, African-American men are 1.7 times
more likely to get prostate cancer and 2.3 times more likely to die
from the disease than white men. During National Minority Health Month
and beyond, it's vitally important to raise awareness of the
prevalence of prostate cancer in the African American community.

We encourage everyone to share these resources, as well as
this infographic, with friends and family to ensure that all men
are aware of their risk for the disease.

Wahl Names Dallas Most Facial Hair Friendly City

http://support.zerocancer.org/site/R?i=biEKN7ZvXmOFjMpcZEn_2g

America has spoken! Dallas has been named the most facial-hair
friendly city, and Wahl Grooming? is bringing its mobile
barbershop to Dallas and nine other cities this year. To honor
the city's accomplishment, Wahl is doing something it's never done
before - sponsoring Sports Fans, not a Sports Star. Those
fans? The Mavs ManiAACs, the bearded, only
all-male performance dance squad in professional sports.

The best part? Wahl will donate $1 to ZERO for every free shave at the
mobile barbershop and our fight to end prostate cancer..
