Every year, every three minutes, an American man finds out he has prostate cancer. One in six men has a lifetime risk of prostate cancer. Almost 200,000 men will be diagnosed with the disease and more than 30,000 will die from it.
Prostate cancer is nearly 100 percent survivable if detected early. But there are often no warning signs or symptoms. The only way to detect the disease in its early stages is through a simple blood test (PSA) and a digital rectal exam (DRE). EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES! Talk to your family doctor or call 412-572-6830 about free screening in the Pittsburgh area.

Great Food, a couple of rockn’ bands, seven former Steelers, and a Pitt Panther Head Coach helped make the first Man Up Fathers Day Race Kick Off a truly manly event. Three hundred and fifty-plus packed the Hard Rock Cafe in Station Square to try their luck at the Chinese Auction, nosh on some hungry-man appetizers, have a few beers and meet former Steelers, Robin Cole, Craig Bingham, Randy Grossman, Gerry Mullins, John Banaszak, Louis Lipps and Edmund Neslon, Pitt Head Football Coach Dave Wannstedt, and the lovely Miller Light Girls.
The evening was hosted by the Obediah Cole Foundation for Prostate Cancer, and sponsored by Hot Metal Harley Davidson, whose customers lined street outside the Hard Rock’s front entrance with every color and kind of Harley! Special thanks to our fantastic MC — WDVE’s Sean McDowell. Getting our motors running with some great rock n’ roll was Chuck Navasky and his band, One Less Tear - who revved up the crowd for the night’s featured entertainment, Joe Grushecky and the House Rockers.
Many MANLY thanks to the hard rockin’ volunteers who made the event possible: Cindy and TedYates Diane Cole, Todd Yorgen, George Jackson, Jody Zawada, Simone Spaudling Cephas, Terelene Brown, Connie McDaniel, Jackie Ging, Elizabeth Bortman, and Josh Livingston. A special shout out to the Hard Rock Cafe’s Roy Martin Smith and Larry Denobile and the their great staff.
