Prostate Cancer Awareness of Central Iowa
Providing Prostate Cancer Support
& Awareness
Our events and programs are intentionally driven to provide support and awareness to Iowa men and their families who are affected by prostate cancer.
Through advocacy, awareness, and community engagement, we’re working to ensure that no man - and no family - face this journey alone.
Team Blue Iowa is made up of survivors, supporters, and local Iowans who donate their time, talent, and treasures to ensure that every dollar we raise goes directly back to our community, helping to promote awareness and early detection. To date, we have given away more than $315,000.
Team Blue Iowa Annual Events
Our Annual July Golf Fundraiser presents a fantastic opportunity for our Team Blue Iowa community to come together to enjoy an afternoon of fellowship, comraderie, and golf.
It's an excellent opportunity for our partners to get involved in a meaningful way through various sponsorship options, while gaining exposure for their business.
Every September, survivors, advocates, supporters, and friends lace up their shoes to support Team Blue Iowa during our 5k Run/Walk,
1 Mile Walk, and Junior Believers Run.
It's an encouraging morning that offers support and hope to those affected by prostate cancer. It's also another opportunity for our partners to make a difference.
Together for Tomorrow Recognition Dinner
10/05/2026
Our annual recognition dinner is an evening of celebrating all that we've accomplished together, recognizing and supporting survivors, and honoring those we've lost.
We also recognize each person who helps make Team Blue Iowa possible; including our sponsors, partners, volunteers, and board members.
We know that early detection saves lives. Our PSA Screening events provide Iowans with free access to early detection, removing barriers to this critical process. PSA Screenings are as easy as a quick blood draw and a follow-up call from a Urologist from Urology Center of Iowa.

Backpack Program
Team Blue Iowa, in partnership with The Urology Center of Iowa, have raised funds to give newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients comfort backpacks filled with items that have been suggested by former patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. The backpacks contain items to occupy their mind and help them throughout treatment, whether that is surgery or radiation (books, blankets, puzzles, etc.) and other comfort items. They also contain critical information about their treatment regimen and ways to help in their recovery (information about treatment, physical therapy, incontinence garments, etc.)
If you are currently receiving prostate cancer treatments or know someone who is,
we'd love to connect with you and get a comfort backpack in your hands.
