2 The Purpose of the is to Gather guest physicians, community, religious, health and Thought leaders together, who have large constituents. Inviting survivors, friends, Greek 1 organizational leaders along with the local church or community to a panel and discuss diseases and clinical trials. Discussion based upon Prostate and Colon Cancer, it s myths, facts and both current and future treatment options. A panel of physicians facilitate each session. The CALL TO ACTION Coalition 2 is part of a strategy to reach and educate African Americans both about disease condition and clinical trials. It will also survey the impact of clinical trials within the community. For example, there is a need to look at cost of childcare, transportation, and time off from work, time reimbursement and other factors. We know that Clinical Recruiters want to recruit minorities, but they don t want to spend extra money to do it. Whether it s because of the high cost of drug development, or because they don t know how, the fact remains, not enough financial resources go directly into outreaching to this audience. Participation in local coalitions could help establish more effective educational outreach, recruitment methods and contribute to new policies for expanding this type of outreach. NPFR has successfully modeled a prototype (specifically related to Prostate Cancer) in Detroit, MI, lead by AARP and the Detroit American Cancer Society and wish to expand to other cities and other diseases based upon the areas of interest and support in Lecture Cities. This Lecture Series will be one among others in the series that discuss diseases and medical trials which critically affect African American community, such as Cardiovascular, Diabetes, Hypertension, Cholesterol, Obesity, Prostate, Breast, Lung and Colon cancer and HIV-AIDS. Lecture series are designed to can encompass multiple diseases or just one.

NTXPCC recently expanded to include a Tyler prostate cancer awareness group. NTXPCC wants to partner with NPFR to expand its education outreach and help to form a South Dallas (mostly minority) prostate cancer support and awareness group. This effort suits our CALL TO ACTION purposes perfectly, in that prostate cancer survivors who want to collaborate and set up a survivor and partner support group can be facilitated through Fabulous 50 to SEXY at 60" Dinner Lecture.
