In PursuitMississippi Prostate Cancer Awareness
A Mississippi-based nonprofit dedicated to advancing prostate cancer awareness, promoting early detection, and supporting the men and families in our communities.
Our Story
In Pursuit Prostate Cancer Awareness was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that no man in Mississippi should face a prostate cancer diagnosis alone — and that far too many diagnoses come too late.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men, yet awareness remains critically low in many of our communities. We exist to change that. Through the collective strength of healthcare partners, community organizations, businesses, and advocates, we are building a statewide network dedicated to education, early detection, and lasting support for the men and families who need it most.
Our work is rooted in Mississippi — in its communities, its families, and its people. We believe that when communities come together with purpose and compassion, lives are saved.
Our Mission
"Uniting communities, businesses, healthcare partners, and advocates across Mississippi to advance prostate cancer awareness, promote early detection, and support better outcomes for men and families throughout our state."
What We Stand For
Compassion
We stand alongside every man and family affected by prostate cancer, offering support, resources, and community.
Community
We bring together communities, businesses, and healthcare partners across Mississippi to create a unified front against prostate cancer.
Prevention
We champion early detection as the most powerful tool in the fight against prostate cancer, saving lives through awareness.
Impact
We are committed to measurable outcomes — more screenings, earlier diagnoses, and better survival rates for men in our state.
