One of the largest prostate cancer events was the annual Cowtown Cruisin' for a Cure carshow in Fort Worth, usually held on the third Saturday in September, which offers free testing during the event; all proceeds generated from this event benefit research and treatment for prostate cancer.
The event was replaced by the Wheels for Wellness Carshow and will be held in 2022 on September 16 at Downtown Fort Worth. This testing event is supported by the North Texas Prostate Cancer Coalition, the Fort Worth Prostate Cancer Support Group at Moncrief, as well as the Texas Health, Harris Hospital. During last year's event, over 400 cars were registered; more importantly, over 150 men took advantage of the free prostate testing.
Tarrant County Commissioner Roy Brooks' Healthy Lives Matter program is offering a free PSA screening in February after attending an online lecture. Please see invitations at the bottom of this page.
Tarrant County and JPS may combine for free Prostate Screenings in September as well.
Free testing schedules as available today are shown below. The schedule will be updated as soon as updates become available. Testing events posted will include PSA testing only unless noted otherwise.
