Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition

Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition The Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition, Inc. We have since expanded to include statewide affiliations now as well.

GPCC’s vision is to eliminate prostate cancer deaths, with a mission focused on building awareness, providing education, and the prevention of the effects of advanced-stage prostate cancer. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded by representatives from various prostate cancer support groups in the Metro-Atlanta area. Our services include:

Awareness

We strive to save lives by promoting aw

areness of prostate cancer in Georgia - including the make up of the disease, importance of early detection, treatment options and survival. We sponsor events to provide prostate cancer awareness information to the general public. We provide speakers to community groups on the diagnosis, treatments and effects of prostate cancer. We provide assistance to those diagnosed with prostate cancer (and their families) to locate information sources and support groups that will help them to deal with their illness. We distribute information to the public to raise prostate cancer awareness and to encourage screenings of men at risk. To increase awareness throughout Georgia, the GPCC campaigned for a Prostate Cancer Awareness license plate, which the State of Georgia approved and issued. Each car having one acts as a mobile reminder to men to track their prostate health. More importantly, the state contributes a portion of the fee for each Georgia Prostate Cancer license plate to GPCC to support Prostate Cancer screening initiatives. Advocacy

We strive to be aware of legislative issues at the federal, state and local levels that will increase prostate cancer awareness and increase funding for screenings, treatments and research. We communicate with the prostate cancer community to encourage support of legislative activity that addresses our concerns. Information Exchange

We maintain a database of prostate cancer support groups in Georgia and of people interested in promoting our objectives.

It is with sad and heavy hearts that we convey to you the loss of internationally renowned, 6 time Grammy Award-winning, saxophonist, David Sanborn. Mr. Sanborn passed Sunday afternoon, May 12th, after an extended battle with prostate cancer with complications.

Mr. Sanborn had been dealing with prostate cancer since 2018, but had been able to maintain his normal schedule of concerts until just recently. Indeed he already had concerts scheduled into 2025.

David Sanborn was a seminal figure in contemporary pop and jazz music. It has been said that he "put the saxophone back into Rock ’n Roll.”

After I co-authored the book:
“I Left My Prostate in San Francisco Where’s Yours?”

I heard from a woman whose husband was cured of prostate cancer, but later took his life because he couldn’t cope with his loss of erectile functioning after prostate surgery.

So my wife and I co-authored a second book:
“Every You Never Wanted to Know Erectile Dysfunction & Pe**le Implants” because far too few men know about the life changing surgery of a pe**le implant.

After the book was published, I created a page as well. It wasn’t long before Facebook closed the page down for “violating community standards” because they considered a pe**le implant a s*x toy!

I appealed this decision arguing that an implant was a medical device that treated a bona fide medical disease called erectile dysfunction.

I won the appeal. Now every day of every year, for many years folks ask to join this CLOSED group.
