Formerly CapCure, the Prostate Cancer Foundation is the world's largest philanthropic source of support for prostate cancer research. The PCF has a single goal: To find better treatments and a cure for recurrent prostate cancer. The PCF pursues its mission by reaching out to individuals, corporations and others to harness society’s resources - both financial and human - to fight this deadly disease.

Founded in 1993, the PCF has raised more than $230 million and grants have been distributed to more than 1,200 researchers at 100 institutions worldwide. The PCF has been a pioneer in the grant making process, simplifying paperwork for grantees, leaving more time for researchers to conduct needed scientific research. The PCF also advocates for greater awareness of prostate cancer and more governmental resources, resulting in a 20-fold increase in government funding for prostate cancer.

In addition, the PCF’s Scientific Retreat convenes leading cancer researchers, physicians, government officials, the biopharmaceutical industry and others each year to discuss new developments and remove barriers that impede progress.
