Through a compelling photographic journey, The Crowns Project honors men and their varied headwear. We highlight Ohioans, especially prostate cancer survivors, through evocative portraits.

Each image captures men in crowns or headgear representing their professions, sports, religions, or ethnicities. This initiative visually explores the profound symbolism of these items.

Ultimately, we document the richness of male headwear, acknowledging achievements and initiating crucial dialogues about masculinity, identity, and men's health awareness.

Education

Through steadfast advocacy, The Crowns Project champions men's health. We actively work to secure public funding for vital prostate cancer research and assess workplace programs for awareness and incentives.

Our policy engagement directly impacts access, ensuring men obtain necessary treatments and post-treatment resources. We also evaluate training effectiveness within these programs.

We collaborate with healthcare providers to implement impactful outreach. Our advocacy transforms health outcomes by improving access, advancing research, and strengthening workplace health initiatives.

Goal Assist Kit

Recovering from prostate surgery can be challenging, but Goal Assist is here to provide essential support. Our program will offer a complimentary three-month supply of incontinence undergarments to men during their postoperative period, ensuring a smooth transition back to everyday life.

Goal Assist is specifically designed for individuals who may not qualify for Medicaid or Medicare Advantage. This initiative enables men to focus on their healing without financial concerns. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and sponsors, we empower men to recover with one less thing to think about.

The Crowns Project: Portraits with a Purpose

SALUD

To Your Health

This September, The Crowns Project introduces SALUD for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. This revolutionary initiative delivers vital health information to Ohio men in breweries, wineries, and healthcare facilities. SALUD directly addresses the alarming lack of timely medical care.

As the nation's only program of its kind, SALUD ingeniously transforms drink coasters into impactful educational tools. Our high-quality coasters ensure consistent, repeated delivery of critical awareness where men naturally congregate. The goal is to distribute 200,000 coasters in a year. That's at least 200,000 people who now know the importance of being tested!!!

Partner with SALUD; champion the fight against prostate cancer. Align your brand with this significant community health effort. Showcase a powerful commitment to saving men's lives throughout Ohio.
