Empowering men aged 40+ to prioritize health through early prostate cancer detection.
Cahokia Heights, IL – Kappa Alpha Psi® Fraternity, Inc., in collaboration with the Siteman Cancer Center and the Prostate Cancer Community Partnership (PCCP), is proud to announce the kickoff of its groundbreaking initiative: 100 Prostate Cancer Screenings in 100 Days.
The event will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Kappa House, located at 5101 Lake Drive, Cahokia Heights, IL 62202. This initiative is designed to encourage men aged 40 and older to prioritize their health by undergoing a simple yet potentially life-saving prostate cancer screening.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, but early detection can make all the difference. The screening involves a quick blood test to measure prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, which can help identify potential issues early on.
Why This Initiative Matters
Prostate cancer disproportionately affects men of color, particularly African American men, who are at a higher risk of developing and dying from the disease. By partnering with the Program for the Elimination of Cancer Disparities (PECaD), Siteman Cancer Center, and BJC HealthCare, Kappa Alpha Psi® Fraternity, Inc. aims to address these disparities and ensure that more men have access to early detection and education about prostate health.
Join Us at the Kickoff Event
The kickoff event will feature:
