Overview

Mission

The prostate awareness research foundation, par for life, is dedicated to eliminating death from prostate cancer by focussing on improving education and awareness and the risk factors associated with the disease. Par for life will support research that advances the knowledge and understanding necessary to individualize prostate cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

What it reported doing in 2012

The foundation executed 12 events, primarily golf tournaments and reached over 2,500 men andtheir families/partners about the risks associated with prostate cancer while raising the general public'sawareness and education level about prostate cancer. We provided free psa testing and prostate exams forabout 300 Oregon men and contributed over $60,000 to prostate cancer research in the northwest. The organization received just over $20,000 of in-kind donations that assisted in the execution of the various events that were executed.

Revenue model
Other-operating. 69% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
