Rep. Fred Allen introduced legislation during the recent session that will allow the APCF to have a specially designed license plate to help raise awareness of prostate cancer in Arkansas! The bill passed, and the APCF needs your help. In order for the license plate to get final approval, a petition must be signed by 500 people in Arkansas. Once the APCF gets 500 signatures, you can go to your local DFA office to purchase your APCF license plate and help spread the word about the prostate cancer risk and the APCF as a resource. 

All signatures must be original; the APCF cannot accept facsimiles, e-mails, PDFs, etc. If you would like an official petition, please e-mail the APCF office at info@arprostatecancer.org and put "APCF license plate petition" in the subject line. If you have any questions about what you can do to help, please call the APCF at 501-748-1249. 

Craig O'Neill will emcee the event, and fans will jam-out to the B Flats, a rockin' band of local doctors and professionals. So join us in cuttin' a rug--the kinda cause that will soothe your soul--reminiscin' about the days of old--with that good time rock 'n roll.

All event sponsors will receive a custom-made, APCF-inspired bow tie produced by The Bow Tie Cause, an organization founded by Dhani Jones, NFL football player and host of the Travel Channel's Dhani Jones Tackles the Globe. Bow ties will also be on sale at the event for $57.

The Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation participated in the European School of Oncology and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Second Interdisciplinary Conference, Prostate Cancer: Predictive Models for Decision Making, April 6-8. Staff learned state of the art predictive modeling, application of predictive models in daily clinical practice and future research trends within the oncologic community. The messages will be distributed through the APCF Medical Advisory Committee, made up of urologists, radiation oncologists, and other physicians some of whom are also prostate cancer survivors.

The APCF updates its schedule regularly. Please check the APCF's website, www.arprostatecancer.org, for more events.
