No, but you'll love it if you try it! It's an easy and fun way to interact with other participants that care about ending prostate cancer. If you just want to join us and fundraise, that's ok too. Register as a virtual participant and you'll still be eligible to earn fundraising rewards that will be mailed directly to you, all while raising funds to help prostate cancer patients and families.

Yes, we'd love to see you there. Please email us at races@zerocancer.org and we can take care of that for you.

We will be hosting our traditional in-person Run/Walks nationwide. We will also continue to have a virtual option for anyone who can’t attend in-person.

This year's virtual run/walk option will be held through the RunGo app (available on Apple and Android). We'll all run/walk on the same date/time . You create your own course and your stats are tracked using the app so you can race against other participants virtually.

It's a great option for those that may not feel comfortable attending an in-person run/walk. Virtual participants are still eligible to earn all fundraising rewards!

Don’t worry, you don’t need to run if that is not your thing. What’s important is that we are spreading the word to ZERO out prostate cancer. You can make your impact by fundraising in your own way. Post on social media and invite your friends to follow along and join you in the fun

You can also set up shop to make an impact! Start your own fundraiser — whether it's a lemonade stand or selling your own artwork or clothing, let your network know that proceeds will benefit prostate cancer patients in need.

However you take action, you'll be spreading crucial awareness for the cause and making direct support possible for patients and families affected by prostate cancer. Share how you're making an impact by posting a photo on social media using the hashtag #EndProstateCancer.

One in eight American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and the funds raised are invested around the country to provide research for new treatments, free prostate cancer testing, support patients emotionally and financially and educate men and families about prostate cancer. As diagnoses rise, more patients and families than ever are taking advantage of our direct patient support programs, making the need for funds to sustain the demand critically important.

100% of donations go to ZERO Prostate Cancer, a registered 501(c)(3) organization (tax id 59-3400922).

The money raised by the event helps drive free prostate cancer testing throughout the country as well as in the communities of each Run/Walk location. We are proud to award grants in select communities where we can have the most impact on new programs, patient support, early detection, and awareness efforts.

Here are five ways your gift makes a difference on a national scale:

1. Financial Support: Your support connects patients in need with personalized solutions to alleviate the many financial stressors of their diagnosis including treatment costs, transportation, insurance navigation, and more.
2. Research: Your gift advances prostate cancer research to discover new treatments and diagnostics.
3. Knowing risk factors and the importance of early detection saves lives and your gift makes education and awareness efforts happen nationwide.
4. Emotional Support: Your gift ensures patients and caregivers have support through in-person and virtual support groups and mentors across the country.
5. Health Equity: Your gift helps remove barriers and provide critical support for those at the highest risk for the disease who for way too long have suffered inequities.

ZERO is the only national prostate cancer charity to receive the highest-possible 4-star rating for financial responsibility from Charity Navigator, and meets all 20 standards of accountability as an accredited charity member of the Better Business Bureau. And no other prostate cancer charity spends more per dollar on programs — more than 85 cents.

Yes. All monetary donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. If the donation was made online, the tax receipt will be emailed to the email address provided. If you donated via check, you can request a tax receipt by emailing races@zerocancer.org.
