We are excited to announce a special “Tailgate and Testing” event during the University of Florida’s upcoming football tailgate in partnership with Man Cave Health and the UF Health Cancer Center. As part of our mission to raise awareness about prostate cancer and promote early detection, we will be offering PSA tests and educational resources to attendees at Gator Fanfest outside of Gate 2 at Exactech Arena.
Fans can enjoy the tailgate lounge, get cool swag and visits from gator greats while also getting critical men’s health information and screening, all in a fun and engaging environment. The Man Cave Health, UF Health Cancer Center, and Prostate Cancer Foundation teams will be on-site, offering PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood tests, educational materials, and answering questions about prostate health.
“College football brings communities together, and there’s no better time to remind men about the importance of taking care of their health,” said Prostate Cancer Foundation President Gina Carithers. “With one in eight men being diagnosed with prostate cancer, early detection is critical. We’re excited to partner with UF Health Cancer Center and Man Cave Health to offer PSA testing during one of the biggest college football matchups of the season, giving fans the chance to protect their health while enjoying their gameday experience.”
We’re thrilled to welcome an all-star lineup of college football personalities to our upcoming event, bringing together some of the most iconic names in Gator history. Joining us will be Steve Spurrier, legendary UF Hall of Fame coach; Chris Doering, former Gator standout and current SEC Network analyst; Brandon Spikes, revered former UF player; Shane Mathews, former UF quarterback and podcast/radio host; and Jeff Cardozo, former UF baseball player, voice of UF baseball, and Regional Business Development Manager for UF Health. Each of these guests brings a unique perspective and commitment to our cause, blending their passion for sports with a dedication to health and wellness.
