About Cruisin’ for a CureCruisin’ for a Cure was started in 2000 by Debbie Baker whose husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Ross Kroenert came on board as a volunteer to help with the cruise and turned into my right arm! His father also suffered and passed with Prostate Cancer. Cruisin’ for a Cure is the world’s largest one-day charity car show with over 3,500 vehicles on display and over 200 vendors and exhibitors. They get to cruise through the OC Fair & Event Center for 1.5 miles and/or park and just display their vehicles. Cruisin’ for a Cure is a registered non-profit California organization. The logistics, marketing, and organization of the show is all handled by volunteers dedicated to our cause of saving our men from prostate cancer. Unlike many other automotive fundraising events, none of the proceeds goes to a car club, promoter, or to administrative overhead.
Be assured that your participation in the event and any donations go directly to prostate cancer research to find a cure! Why Attend? About Prostate CancerOther than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. Estimates for prostate cancer in the United States for 2015 are*: - About 220,800 new cases
- About 27,540 deaths
- About 1 man in 7 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime
- About 6 in 10 cases are diagnosed in men aged 65 or older
- About 1 in 38 men will die of prostate cancer
However, more than 2.9 million men in the United States who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer are still alive today. THAT statistic is why we are here at Cruisin’ for a Cure.
For statistics related to survival, see the section on the American Cancer Society website on Survival rates for prostate cancer.* *References:
