Greetings,
August. The month the school year begins for many students, teachers, staff, and families around the country. Today, we are struggling with a pandemic that raises the question: How do we educate our children, youth, and young adults safely and effectively? As with prostate cancer, we know there is no simple answer. We also know one size never fits all. Finally, we know that we must all work together, step by step, and day by day to move forward toward ultimate solutions for both reopening schools and defeating prostate cancer.
For all of us at Us TOO, moving forward involves
Support,
Education,
Advocacy/
Awareness. These letters represent the
SEA in
SEA Blue 2020. This National and Virtual event will be held September 13, 2020, from 10am – 12pm Central Time. Held annually during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, SEA Blue is our major vehicle to raise awareness of the disease and it is Us TOO’s largest fundraiser. It helps us deliver webinars,
News You Can Use and the
Hot SHEET, support services, and more, all at no charge to participants.
Teams around the country are forming to raise money through
SEA Blue 2020. You may recall that my team is called the BBHS Team, honoring Beau and Barbara Hill Stubblefield, my late parents.
We’ve now raised $2500 of our $5000 goal! Why not create a team to honor someone you love? You can raise funds, participate in the event, perhaps even host a watch party.
Finally,
anyone can register as an individual. Registration is
Pay What You Can given the current economic environment and the impact of COVID-19. There’s strength in numbers, and we’d love to have you supporting the Us TOO team. You can register, donate, or just find more information at
www.seablueprostatewalk.org.
We’re pleased to provide you with some of the latest
Prostate Cancer News You Can Use along with the information below that may be of interest to you. Titles of prostate cancer news articles are also listed with a link to the Us TOO web page that provides access to the full text for each article.
