Jefferson University Hospitals

Through September 30, you can support prostate cancer awareness and research at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center (KCC) by purchasing a pretzel in the shape of a "P" at the Philly Pretzel Factory 11th Street location (across from Jefferson University Hospital) in Philadelphia. Half of the proceeds from sales of the specialty pretzel will go to the KCC.

In addition, look for information on a drawing for Phillies tickets at the 11th Street store. The location will also accept directed donations for the KCC prostate cancer programs.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men. Screening is important because prostate cancer shows no symptoms in its earliest stages.
