As a show of its concern for the health and lifestyle of the thousands expected to attend Real Men Cook, a food-sampling and family celebration in 11 cities, Real Men Charities, Inc. the presenting nonprofit, will host a Health and Wellness Pavilion in each market on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 15.

She added that early screenings can detect cancers before they become life threatening. Prostate cancer awareness is a year-round initiative of Real Men Charities, Inc. In addition, through Real Men Charities, Inc. work in the area of HIV AIDS education and screening more and more Blacks are becoming aware that early detection of HIV AIDS, proper medication and good nutrition will extend life expectancy and quality for those testing positively.
