The St. Augustine (FL) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. is committed to increasing awareness and educating our community about prostate cancer. Through educational seminars and community outreach, we provide information that encourages men to understand their risk factors, recognize the importance of early detection, and have informed conversations with their healthcare providers.

Our Prostate Cancer Awareness Seminar reflects SAAC’s continued commitment to making men’s health education an important part of our community service efforts. By creating opportunities for education and conversation, we seek to empower men and their families with knowledge that can lead to earlier detection and better health outcomes.
