AdMeTech Foundation’s Dance for the Cure of Prostate Cancer has been playing an important role in raising awareness of prostate cancer as a public health crisis and accurate diagnostic tools as a solution. Dance for the Cure is modeled after Susan G. Komen Foundation’s Race for the Cure of Breast Cancer. Marianne Nicole and John DePalman pioneered Dance for the Cure Championships in all four styles at the Capital Dancesport in late August 2010 to benefit AdMeTech Foundation’s Dance for the Cure: a public awareness and fundraising campaign to end prostate cancer crisis.
