By definition, a coalition is a group of individuals and organizations working toward a common goal.

Coalition members span the state of North Carolina and include individuals and organizations working to promote awareness, early detection of prostate cancer and/or "best practices" care of prostate cancer patients.

The Prostate Cancer Coalition of North Carolina facilitates communication and collaboration for prostate cancer related initiatives of particular interest to our state and it's citizens. Coalition members are not required to pay membership dues. By joining the coalition you will receive information about prostate cancer advocacy initiatives affecting citizens of North Carolina, gain information about program opportunities and are welcome to share information about your prostate cancer related events and activities via the PCCNC network.

The citizens of North Carolina have been silent regarding this threat for too long. We invite all interested and committed parties to join us in this important initiative.

To join the Prostate Cancer Coalition of North Carolina, send your name, the name of your organization (for organizational membership) address, phone, fax, and email to PCCNC membership.

You can also complete the volunteer form if you would like to help fight prostate cancer in your community.

"Many of us feel cheated out of our retirement years, by this thing called prostate cancer...I was diagnosed at age 50. Retirement? What's that!?...If all of us would commit to giving activism our all, for a year or even six months, think how much we could accomplish...I mean we can stand up in our vast numbers together to help each other. Organizing marches, writing legislators, supporting prostate support groups who are involved with the issues -- and being a real pain in the keester when we see inequities in our health care system."

"...stand up on the issues that affect us and our families...Don't expect others to do the job for us. If you're serious about wanting change, start asking, "How can I help?" Become an activist at your own pace. No one has to give up their personal and family lives, just pick something, do it well, and try to stay with it."
