Who We Are

We are a Black men’s health and prostate cancer support group striving to enhance the health and well-being of men and their families by providing a safe, supportive forum for discussion.

Through our community-driven approach, we empower Black men to take charge of their prostate health, make informed decisions, and connect with others on similar journeys. We provide a safe space for open discussions, ensuring that men and their families have access to trusted resources, health screenings, and expert guidance.

Supporting Future Black Medical Professionals

We believe in investing in supporting the education of future Black doctors. That’s why we have established an endowment to provide scholarships to Black medical students attending the University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine.
