RUN FOR DAD is an American Cancer Society event focused on raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer. Traditionally held on Father’s Day, the event has been moved to September to align with Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. It commemorates co-founder Frank Simms and others who have succumbed to prostate cancer. The event features a 5K run, a 2-mile walk, and a Kids Run For Dad. Prostate cancer impacts numerous men, with New Jersey having one of the highest incidence rates. Early detection significantly boosts survival rates, with education and awareness playing crucial roles in combating the disease.
