Prostate Cancer Canada (amalgamated with....)

United Front in Prostate Cancer Fight

Prostate Cancer Canada has amalgamated with the former Canadian Prostate Cancer Network, now known as the Prostate Cancer Canada Network, which services 120 local support groups and 30,000 survivors. It is currently exploring a similar union with other prostate cancer organizations, says Rocco Fazzolari, Prostate Cancer Canada's vice-president of finance.

"There are several organizations across Canada dedicated to prostate cancer research, education and support" he says. "If these talks are successful, the result will be an organization with a national scope and regional presence."

The union of Prostate Cancer Canada and other significant groups would make enormous sense, Mr. Fazzolari says. It would eliminate competition for fundraising, form a solid national base to increase funds being raised, reduce fundraising and administration costs, avoid duplication and allow all stakeholders to speak with a single voice.
