ZERO — The End of Prostate Cancer is the nation’s largest non-profit organization dedicated to ending prostate cancer. With research advances, educational resources, and comprehensive support for prostate cancer patients, ZERO has improved the lives of thousands of men and their families over the past twenty years.

Harrity 4 Charity is a proud partner of ZERO and applauds their perseverance in eradicating the disease, which impacts so many lives worldwide. This cause is particularly meaningful to us, as Harrity Controller Sandy Maxey’s own father passed away from prostate cancer.

This week, Sandy was honored with a ZERO Prostate Cancer Bold for Blue Award for her contributions to prostate cancer awareness and research. This award is a testament to the importance of working together to find a cure for this devastating disease.

“Prostate cancer affects millions of men around the world, and it is a cause that is very close to my heart. Through my work and advocacy, I have seen firsthand the impact that this disease can have on individuals and families. That’s why I am so grateful for the opportunity to make a difference through the Zero Prostate Cancer Bold for Blue Awards program.

I am humbled and honored to be recognized alongside so many amazing individuals and organizations who are making a difference in the fight against prostate cancer. This award is a reminder that every action we take, no matter how small, can make a big impact.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me in this important work, including my colleagues, family, and friends. I look forward to continuing to collaborate and advocate for prostate cancer awareness and research, and I encourage everyone to get involved in any way they can.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by prostate cancer and move closer to a cure. Thank you again for this incredible honor,” she shared.

Harrity 4 Charity Supports the ZERO Prostate Cancer Summit

Firm News, Harrity 4 Charity Harrity4Charity, Sandra Maxey, ZERO

Harrity & Harrity Controller Sandra Maxey attended the ZERO Prostate Cancer Summit, which was held February 24-26. ZERO, an organization focused on securing federal funding for prostate cancer research, hosted the three-day event for attendees to meet with survivors, patients, caregivers and family members who are committed to fighting prostate cancer.

By advocating for federal funding, ZERO hopes to help the hundreds of men and families impacted by this disease. Now more than ever, it is critical to preserve and advance cancer research, patient care and access to affordable health care.

The stories from survivors at ZERO made an impact. “Hearing from people who have fought and won the battle against this disease inspires us to keep pushing forward by raising awareness, speaking out, and finding a cure,” said Ms. Maxey. “We need to keep pressure on Capitol Hill to provide the much-needed funding and policies that will eliminate prostate cancer.”
