Fundraising Ideas and Resources

The money you raise drives our impact

You have taken the first step toward ending prostate cancer and spreading awareness in your community by registering for your local Run/Walk! The best way to support men and their families is to raise funds through your personal fundraising webpage. Did you know that 86 cents of every dollar donated to ZERO goes to programs like research, early detection, education, and advocacy? You can be a fundraising hero to families fighting today.
