NEBRASKA PROSTATE CANCER ALLIANCE
Over 8 years, Nebraska PCA has provided over 1,500 free PSA tests. The mission is two-fold. We want to provide FREE PSA testing from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at the show, and we also want to provide education about prostate cancer to take away the stigma. We put on an annual car and motorcycle show. This year it is being held on September 8th at the Nebraska Furniture Mart in Omaha. The focal point of the show is a FREE PSA test, a simple blood draw, available to every man over 40 attending the show. PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen; a chemical found in the blood which is the first indication of the possibility of prostate cancer. Testing information is not made public. We try to get as many men as possible tested at the show.
