DON'T BE A shy Guy

The Tyler Prostate Cancer Awareness Program (TCAP) began an awareness campaign entitled "DON'T BE A shy GUY", whereby it promotes the shared decision making process, prompting men to speak with their doctors about prostate health, along with colon and testicular cancers.  During June, TPCAP is attacking multiple media outlets with this message, and future promotional items will contain the silhouettes, the prompt, the baby-blue color, and/or the slogan "Don't Be A Shy Guy", from this billboard.  See details ...
