What is the Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation?

APCF was founded in 2000 by six businessmen who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. We encourage awareness, promote timely detection, and support improved treatment of prostate cancer across Arkansas. We believe no man should fight this disease alone.  

Where does the funding go and what is it used for?

APCF will receive all proceeds from No Shave November. All money raised will support APCF’s free awareness and educational programs, free prostate cancer screenings, and free patient assistance programs. EVERY DOLLAR RAISED STAYS IN ARKANSAS.
