By Father’s Day 2011, you will hear more than 1,000,000 voices telling American fathers, sons, brothers, uncles and friends that prostate cancer testing saves lives. That is the goal of the One Too Many: One Million Voices Against Prostate Cancer mobile campaign that kicks off next weekend at Minor League Baseball parks across the country.
All of us here at Renu Mobile are proud to be providing mobile solutions for this organization as it kicks off this wonderful new initiative.
One Too Many: One million Voices Against Prostate Cancer will officially launch the first of many planned campaigns this Friday, the 18th and run through Sunday, the 20th, at Minor League Fathers Day games across the country.
The effort is lead by Ed Randall’s Bat for the Cure, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about prostate cancer. The campaign enables Minor League Baseball fans – and fans of men everywhere – to add their personal information to a simple web based form on their mobile phones starting this Father’s day weekend at 26 ball parks across the country.
The campaign’s ultimate objective is to collect 1,000,000 “voices” by Father’s Day 2011 and send those voices to Washington D.C. to make it clear that men, women, and children are demanding sweeping policy changes and governmental action that promotes prostate cancer awareness, detection, treatment, and ongoing research.
One Too Many is a joint effort between Ed Randall’s Bat for the Cure and the team here at Renu. We were fortunate enough to work with Bat For the Cure to provide them with creation and management of this powerful mobile campaign and to donate a short code for SMS messaging.
Smartphone users can use this Mobile Barcode to access videos, mobile petition sign ups, a live twitter feed (follow @batforthecure now!) and a donations space.
“We are thrilled that now, fans of Bat For the Cure can immediately – at the ball field, using their mobile phone – contribute to our effort to make sure every man on this Earth who is over thirty knows that taking this simple blood test – and more importantly, taking ownership of their health – can keep them alive longer for the wives, partners, children, and friends who love them,” said Bat For the Cure’s CEO and founder Ed Randall.
Carol Glennon, our CEO, on the partnership, “When we learned about what Ed and his team were doing, we immediately decided to help. We wanted to make it possible for every person moved by the work Bat For the Cure is doing to be able to add their voice. In the future, we will be delivering more applications, including a look-up for clinics where the PSA blood tests can be taken, and many other innovations that break down the barriers so that after a man is educated, he or his friends and family can easily act. Ed Randall has already saved lives – and it is an honor for us to help him save many more.”
