About Us

Jazz for Prostate Cancer Awareness (Jazz4PCA)™ partners with services provided by music venues, musicians, and non-profit organizations. Using the appeal of live jazz music, Jazz4PCA’s mission is to educate and advocate prostate cancer awareness while helping to raise funds for the provisioning of free prostate cancer screening:

1.     A restaurant or music venue interested in having new customers patronize its business towards new customers, is selected to allow Jazz4PCA in having a 4-hour jazz supper club fundraiser on a given day.

2.     The restaurant is then asked to agree to sponsor the following:

a.    Donate a percentage of its profits earned during the 4-hour event towards the elected 501c3 nonprofit organization (i.e. Rutgers Cancer Institute of NJ (CINJ)), serving also as a tax benefit to the restaurant owner;

b.    Pay Jazz4PCA a percentage of the event’s profit (after donations rendered) for band and promotional fees.

3.     With the restaurant owner in agreement, Jazz4PCA promotes and sells jazz tickets/dinners for maximum restaurant attendance.

4.    Representatives from local hospitals and/or cancer societies are invited to present educational information related to  prostate cancer awareness and early detection.  Also,  holistic health vendors are asked to showcase wellness products and services for healthy living.  Other local vendors are asked to donate their products and services for raffles and giveaways.
