| For the past five years, COMAPC has donated funds to the Columbus Cancer Clinic to pay for prostate cancer screenings for uninsured men. The Columbus Cancer Clinic provides helping hands to the community, assisting those affected by cancer and those wishing to be screened. | Please join us for the 7th annual Par for Life outing on Monday, June 18, 2012, at Scioto Reserve Country Club. Our 2011 outing was a sell-out so register early so you don’t miss the cut. Sponsor, donor, and player information are now available. |
Thanks to all of our sponsors, donors, and 400+ participants for supporting the 2011 5K Run/Walk. Save the date for this year’s race! It will be run on Sunday, October 7, 2012, at 9:00 AM at Genoa Park - Columbus Parks and Recreation. |

As with all cancers, early detection is important in treating prostate cancer and improving chances for recovery. COMAPC is committed to helping all men take responsibility for their own health. Knowing more about the risks of prostate cancer, as well as detection and treatment are the first steps in controlling this disease. We do not offer medical advice, but we do encourage every man to discuss this information with his healthcare provider. More...

Every man should know the risks and get screened for prostate cancer. Early diagnoses can result in life saving treatment. More...
