Last year more than 5,000 participants took to the campus of St. Joseph Medical Center to raise upwards of $700,000. A total of 88 men took advantage of free screenings; nine of whom tested positive and were referred for further evaluation.

Awards will be given to the top male and female runners overall, top male and female runners in various age groups, the top fundraising team, and the largest team.

The da Vinci provides the latest, state-of-the-art surgical treatment for prostate cancer confined to the prostate gland. A da Vinci robot will be on display. Sit down at the console and use the panel to move the robot’s surgical arms just like the surgeon would.
