Necktie and Lapel Pin
"Tie On Awareness"
Be part of the team making research in prostate cancer possible. Wear this fine designer silk necktie and lapel pin to promote prostate cancer awareness. Prostate cancer is detected in over 180,000 men in the USA each year. Although early diagnosis has led to a decrease in deaths over the past 5 years, almost 32,000 men still die of prostate cancer each year. Research into new methods of treatment and diagnosis can make a difference.

This necktie and pin were born of a desire to raise as much awareness among men about prostate cancer as the pink ribbon did for women and breast cancer. We knew men weren't going to connect with a "ribbon," but we knew we could challenge men to associate this daily ritual of tying their neckties with prostate cancer awareness and early detection. We hope that this symbol will become accepted nationwide as "the" symbol for prostate cancer awareness.

In appreciation of your donation of $50 you will recieve this fine designer tie, and in appreciation of your donation of $5 you will receive this lapel pin. These funds will support urgently needed research in prostate cancer. Thank you for making a difference.

If you would like to make a donation in exchange for a necktie or lapel pin, please contact us at (504) 988-6064.
